"Respect yourself and others will respect you...." - Quote by Confucius

“The Master said, “What a worthy man was Yan Hui! Living in a narrow alley, subsisting upon meager bits of rice and water—other people could not have borne such hardship, and yet it never spoiled Hui’s joy. What a worthy man was Hui!” (Analects 6.11)”

“Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher.”

“The faults of a superior person are like the sun and moon. They have their faults, and everyone sees them; they change and everyone looks up to them.”

“I really liked the sound of some projects that Jon Brion had worked on. I was always considered this crazy hothead kid, but I would always just go and just really break bread with someone who I respected. I will completely bow to anybody I respect.”

“That's what people respect, the fact that I wasn't a chump that laid on his back and gave up.”

“Do not treat others as you yourself would not be treated.”

“The nonviolent approach does not immediately change the heart of the oppressor. It first does something to the hearts and souls of those committed to it. It gives them new self-respect; it calls up resources of strength and courage they did not know they had.”

“Anything that encourages pauperism, anything that relaxes the manly fiber and lowers self-respect, is an unmixed evil.”

“People will use you as long as you let them.”
