Respect the burden.
Napoleon BonaparteThe wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, ‚We did it ourselves.‘
Lao TzuA free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad.
Albert CamusA child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him, and a child cannot afford to be fooled.
James BaldwinAlways make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity.
Robert GreeneBe as polite to the custodian as you are to the chairman of the board.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.People ask, ‚Should I call you Sir Hopkins?‘ But I say, ‚No. Call me Tony,‘ because it’s too much of a lift-up.
Anthony HopkinsI became a journalist at 17. A few hours later, I saw my first dead body, which was somewhat… colourful. That’s when I learned you can go on throwing up after you run out of things to throw up.
Terry PratchettDon’t get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects.
Richard M. NixonNo matter what message you are about to deliver somewhere, whether it is holding out a hand of friendship, or making clear that you disapprove of something, is the fact that the person sitting across the table is a human being, so the goal is to always establish common ground.
Madeleine AlbrightYou will always have partial points of view, and you’ll always have the story behind the story that hasn’t come out yet. And any form of journalism you’re involved with is going to be up against a biased viewpoint and partial knowledge.
Margaret AtwoodIt is better to take what does not belong to you than to let it lie around neglected.
Mark TwainI’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.
Beyonce KnowlesToleration is good for all, or it is good for none.
Edmund BurkeWhen you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others.
Dalai LamaI have great respect for the semicolon; it is a mighty handy little fellow.
Abraham LincolnFortunately, 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.
Michelle ObamaI don’t think I’m supposed to boss other people around just because I’m a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I’ve seen it happen. I don’t call those people out – they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.
Dolly PartonTo the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.
VoltaireLet every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
Albert EinsteinIf you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
J. K. RowlingGood breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.
Thomas CarlyleSure, women sportswriters look when they’re in the clubhouse. Read their stories. How else do you explain a capital letter in the middle of a word?
Bob UeckerIf I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people – including me – would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.
Hunter S. ThompsonThe people respect and believe in men who fulfill their duty.

Jordan PetersonI hate victims who respect their executioners.
Jean-Paul SartreI hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana’s loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.
Queen Elizabeth IIHeadlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not.
Bill GatesMen have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.
Henry David ThoreauTo be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.
BonoWhen I was a teenager, my biggest lessons came from Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley. I learned so much from opening up for those artists, and it also taught me how to treat your opening acts and make them feel like they’re part of a family, not just a tour.
Taylor SwiftYoung men have a passion for regarding their elders as senile.
Henry AdamsI never will, by any word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others.
Thomas JeffersonWe do not covet anything from any nation except their respect.
Winston ChurchillI think I have a certain respect for people, you know. And I guess a lot of times I expect that respect to go both ways.
Tom BradyAmerica is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.
Alexander Graham BellThe respected intellectuals are those who conform and serve power interests.
Noam ChomskyI believe that Jesus was, you know, the Son of God. And I understand that… we need to be really, really respectful to people who find that ridiculous and… preposterous.
BonoUnless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.

Abraham LincolnWithout feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?
ConfuciusIt is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right.
Henry David ThoreauI always bring out the best in men I fight, but Joe Frazier, I’ll tell the world right now, brings out the best in me. I’m gonna tell ya, that’s one helluva man, and God bless him.
Muhammad AliI don’t think that my kind of journalism has ever been universally popular. It’s lonely out here.
Hunter S. ThompsonA good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.
ChanakyaMy father used to have an expression. He’d say, ‚Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about your dignity. It’s about respect. It’s about your place in your community.‘
Joe BidenGood breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
Mark TwainIn order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob.
Salvador DaliToday, 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.
Carl SaganIt feels good to have your work respected again.
EminemMy goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family. I don’t care what your job is, you’re not gonna talk down to me, you’re not gonna try to get a rise out of me. I’m a man first. And in establishing that, some interesting things have happened.
Kanye WestFour hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.
Napoleon BonaparteIf you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
Winston ChurchillWe must respect the other fellow’s religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.
H. L. MenckenWhen I was old enough to change my name, I changed it to Mr. T so that the first word out of someone’s mouth was ‚Mister,‘ a sign of respect.
Mr. TWe are all the President’s men.
Henry KissingerWhen you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.
LeBron James
