To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.

Never take a person's dignity: it is worth everything to them, and nothing to you.

Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect.

Those who respect others have a self respect. Respect those who have a self respect.

If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.

Respect yourself and others will respect you.
