More on Self Respect
“I don't have the delusion that I'm the best or have the right answer. Whenever someone is out there pissed at you or me, they don't even know you or I. What they are really pissed at is themselves. You might have total respect for them but they don't respect themselves.”
“When I was in high school, I remember seeing girls crying in the bathroom every Monday about what they did that weekend. I never wanted to be that girl crying in the bathroom.”
“There is a price which is too great to pay for peace, and that price can be put in one word. One cannot pay the price of self-respect.”
More on Dignity
“Human dignity begins to assert itself only at the point where man is distinguishable from the beast by pity for it.”
“Don't come crawlin' to a man for love-he likes to get a run for his money.”
“I hear therefore with joy whatever is beginning to be said of the dignity and necessity of labor to every citizen. There is virtue yet in the hoe and the spade, for learned as well as for unlearned hands. And labor is everywhere welcome; always we are invited to work; only be this limitation observed, that a man shall not for the sake of wider activity sacrifice any opinion to the popular judgments and modes of action.”
