RESPECT QUOTATIONS

"To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater."

Bono

"In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute."

Thurgood Marshall

"The capacity for getting along with our neighbor depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves. The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his neighbor's shortcomings as he is of his own."

Eric Hoffer

"Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Respect is earned, not given."

King Hussein Nishah

"Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love."

Don Miguel Ruiz

"Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves."

U Thant

"Let us develop respect for all living things. Let us try to replace violence and intolerance with understanding, compassion and love."

Jane Goodall

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. "

Henry David Thoreau

"One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say."

Bryant H. McGill

"Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world, and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day: civility, respect, kindness, character."

Aaron Sorkin

"We don't need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful."

Taylor Swift

Good parenting is many things but none greater than giving the gift of a grandparents wisdom and love. if you have been through a broken relationship, do not take it out on the grandparents of your ex-spouse just for spite. You will leave a void in your children's lives they can never get back. Teach your children to respect the elders just as would every other important thing and encourage them to love their grandparents, no matter what side they come from.

Respect should be shown to all living things, not just to humans. The non-human animals that this planet are too often overlooked when we talk about respect. What a lonely place this would be if we didn't have them.

Respecting yourself is a main thing in life. So your family, friends, and animals know who you are. Don't give up on that respect, keep it going, but mainly don't lose faith on your respect of others. Life is worth living, so why not live it.

My oldest daughter and I were in your bus television spot several years ago. We were quite excited in fact to become a part of what I believe to be one of the greatest ideas to pass on to future generations what is needed, in order to continue to be our best and do our best! I thank God for everyone involved taking part in this wonderful idea of teaching values and spreading them in such positive ways! Please continue on your good works! Thank you for allowing me to share!

Respect is a quality that must be carefully nurtured in relation to oneself and to others. Every individual has the capacity to treat oneself and all those in his/her environment with kindness and dignity. The world would be a better place if all humans valued respect and lived that way in their daily lives.

Linda W from Sarasota, Florida

Respect is being understanding and kind to others who are like you, or the opposite of you. I always like to say no amount of money can buy you respect, but kindness surely can.
