Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.

Never find your delight in another's misfortune.

Self-respect is not only a matter of what you are doing in your life, but also of how you are doing it. It requires that you bring goodness and virtue into each thought, feeling, word and action.

To harmonise your ideas with the ideas of others and to give everyone respect is the means to become respect worthy.

Rather than be concerned with what others think of you, concern yourself with what you think of yourself. The greatest fortune is to know who you are and who you need not to be.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

Respect for ones parents is the highest duty of civil life.

We must build a new world, a far better world - one in which the eternal dignity of man is respected.

We confide in our strength, without boasting of it; we respect that of others, without fearing it.

They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.

Respect for ourselves guides our morals; respect for others guides our manners.

Men are respectable only as they respect.

The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.

To gain respect - firstly give it.
