"Self-respect leads to self-discipline...." - Quote by Clint Eastwood

“Instead of calling everybody names, start being more understanding.”

“In past generations, people would try to play younger than they really are. My trick is, I don't try to play younger than I really am.”

“Prime time for men is, say, 35 to 45. Then they level off and fall off.”

“I plan to stand by nonviolence, because I have found it to be a philosophy of life that regulates not only my dealings in the struggle for racial justice, but also my dealings with people, and with my own self.”

“With self-discipline most anything is possible.”

“Self-discipline, although difficult, and not always easy while combating negative emotions, should be a defensive measure.”

“An occasional compliment is necessary to keep up one's self-respect.”

“A flippant, frivolous man may ridicule others, may controvert them, scorn them; but he who has any respect for himself seems to have renounced the right of thinking meanly of others.”

“... I feel certain that his tale is true. Feeling that certainty, I befriend him. As long as that certainty shall last, I will befriend him. And if any consideration could shake me in this resolve, I should be so ashamed of myself for my meanness, that no man's good opinion - no, nor no woman's - so gained, could compensate me for the loss of my own.”
