I deserve respect for the things I did not do.

When you are learning about a martial art, it is about respect.

For ‚Hercules,‘ I went for the demigod look: big and mean. When you’re playing a character like the son of Zeus, you only get one shot.

I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.

A faithful woman can become a devoted daughter of God – more concerned with being righteous than with being selfish, more anxious to exercise compassion than to exercise dominion, more committed to integrity than to notoriety. And she knows of her own infinite worth.

People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook. I earned everything I’ve got.

I think, under President Obama, who was a really bright guy – I didn’t agree with a lot of his politics – but we got to the point internationally where our friends didn’t trust us. They were confused. And our enemies didn’t quite respect us.

The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another’s keeping .

I say this everywhere I go: I admire and respect Hillary. She has been a lawyer, a law professor, First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the United States, a U.S. Senator, Secretary of State.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.

You’re not better than anybody else, but you’re not less than anybody else. You’re a child of the Most High God.

Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.

It doesn’t matter who likes you or doesn’t like you, all that matters is that God likes you. He accepts you, he approves of you.

The most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit… a reputation, character.

If a person is successful, we imagine they are probably also ethical, conscientious and deserving of their good fortune. This obscures the fact that many people who get ahead have done so by doing less than moral actions, which they cleverly disguise from view.

I love people talking about me; I love anybody just looking at me.

Let me define a leader. He must have vision and passion and not be afraid of any problem. Instead, he should know how to defeat it. Most importantly, he must work with integrity.

The measure of a man is what he does with power.

It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves, you know, to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn’t make me feel good at all.

Once you appreciate one of your blessings, one of your senses, your sense of hearing, then you begin to respect the sense of seeing and touching and tasting, you learn to respect all the senses.

It’s much more fun to play something you’re nothing like than what you are… It’s much easier to hide yourself in a character.

Live truth instead of professing it.

Today, we’re still loaded down – and, to some extent, embarrassed – by ancient myths, but we respect them as part of the same impulse that has led to the modern, scientific kind of myth. But we now have the opportunity to discover, for the first time, the way the universe is in fact constructed as opposed to how we would wish it to be constructed.

This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.

Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.

If you’re talking to a man who wouldn’t fight with you under any circumstances whatsoever, then you’re talking to someone for whom you have absolutely no respect.

The post of honour is a private station.

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.

I don’t pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.

This above all; to thine own self be true.

My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don’t need another plaque.

Commitment is an act, not a word.

The time has come for all evangelists to practice full financial disclosure. The world is watching how we walk and how we talk. We must have the highest standards of morality, ethics and integrity if we are to continue to have influence.

A man’s character is his fate.

Places I’ve lived since then had to have some kind of uniqueness and character about them. And logically Key West, and then Down Island. So, all of that stuff sort of had it’s roots in New Orleans and went crazy.

The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.

Nothing shows a man’s character more than what he laughs at.

I want to negotiate what I’m worth. I want to put my analytics forward, man-to-man, and to be like, ‚This is what I’m owed now. Pay me.‘ And then we can talk.

Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.

I stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.

I respect Soulja Boy.

Fortunately, we have help from the media. I have to say this: I’m very grateful for the support and kindness that we’ve gotten. People have respected their privacy and in that way, I think, you know, no matter what people may feel about my husband’s policies or what have you, they care about children and that’s been good to see.

You don’t tell deliberate lies, but sometimes you have to be evasive.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

I don’t have to show anything to anyone. There is nothing to prove.

I love Notting Hill and Westbourne Grove – there is so much life and vitality around Portobello and Ladbroke Grove. It has come up a lot since I started Virgin more than 40 years ago, but there is so much character.

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.

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

Bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them.

I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.

I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God’s creation, woman, the object of our lust.

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.

By a lie, a man… annihilates his dignity as a man.

I don’t join the New Atheists. So, for example, I wouldn’t have the arrogance to lecture some mother who hopes to see her dying child in Heaven – that’s none of my business, ultimately. I won’t lecture her on the philosophy of science.

It’s nice to be included in people’s fantasies but you also like to be accepted for your own sake.

The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught.
