Respect Quotes
The art of never making a mistake is crucial to motherhood. To be effective and to gain the respect she needs to function, a other must have her children believe she has never engaged in sex, never made a bad decision, never caused her own mother a moment's anxiety, and was never a child.
– Erma Bombeck
I also think that, as a fellow human being, I should be accorded a level of privacy and respect as anyone else. So, it's a delicate balance and some of the things that are written or speculated, rumours that have circulated, you've gotta just laugh at them and have a sense of humour about them and not take them so seriously.
– Benjamin Bratt
When you're working opposite Halle Berry, you're going to get a lot. So you have to give a lot. That said, what I've found striking in the past few days is that people are aware of a good chemistry that exists between us on screen. If that's so, it's due to the fact that she and I have a real liking for each other in real life and a real mutual respect.
– Benjamin Bratt
– Robert Byrne
It's like, now you've done it, you stood up with the big boys and you were good onscreen. It gives me a lot more weight walking into a room. They just treat me with a different level of respect. They don't remember Superman so much as they remember that role, which is a different realm.
– Dean Cain

The way a person moves tells you a lot about them. Look at the way I'm holding this coffee mug. If I were to thump it down on the table, I wouldn't be respecting your tape recorder. If I move it gently, it means I am showing some respect. These are the things I bring to my performances.
– Robert Carlyle
My hope is that one day America will return to our historic standards which were to respect the life of the unborn.

The spread of democracy, the new foundation of the rule of law, and the creation of fledgling representative governments that honor and respect human rights-together these actions spell out the increasing marginalization of the terrorists, as they have fewer and fewer places to run and hide.
– John Cornyn
I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a transformer in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.
– Stephen Covey

– Joan Didion
So what if I'm smokin' weed onstage and doing what I gotta do? It's not me shooting nobody, stabbing nobody, killing nobody. It's a peaceful gesture and they have to respect that and appreciate that.

– Albert Einstein
You figure they cheat at the ballpark, they'll cheat on the golf course, they'll cheat in business, and anything else in life. Players may laugh about it and say it's funny, but right down in their heart, they don't think it's funny at all, and they have no respect for a person who cheats.

There are people who in private ask us to respect the confidentiality of their donations, and we do, because we understand the fear they have of being repressed, just as I was when I began in politics. Important businesspeople often lose the vision of the wonderful opportunities this country offers if we achieve a true democracy-they prefer short-term benefits. The ones who ARE changing are women. They have a very different vision.
– Vicente Fox
– Barry Gibb

I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wishes. The greater part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims. They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut.
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My energy was focused on trying to find my way out of a deep, dark wood, and getting good help that I trusted, and being involved with the people I was responsible for and responsible to. Beyond that extended family/friends/church base, there was no energy to consider who was putting the ban on me. If somebody made that choice, I totally respect that. But I had no interest in trying to justify anything to anybody.
– Amy Grant

In the days long ago when I was in the seminary, we were told that we would be respected by our people, and we took it for granted that we would be. I learned very quickly in my first assignment that respect was no longer given, save in a superficial way. It had to be earned by the display of professional competence. That is all the more true today.
– Andrew Greeley
The radical feminists include their sisters and their nieces and their mothers and all the women in their lives. They just don't like the way the Church treats them. And this includes lots of parish priests. They are just awfully sloppy in their respect and sensitivity toward women.
– Andrew Greeley
– Graham Greene
There has to be an inner peace process that treats gang members like traumatized war victims who lack counseling, jobs, and respect. A lot of that has got to be self-administered in affinity groups, counseling groups, in jail and out of jail, with resources and professional help.

– Victor Hugo
As a Muslim, I know that my faith reveres all monotheistic religions. It completes God's message to mankind to live together in friendship and dignity, at a time when Islam, Christianity and Judaism, in many parts of the world, present an image which is totally alien to the spirit in which they were meant: the teachings of God in terms of tolerance and mutual respect.
– King Hussein
How can we resolve problems if we do not place ourselves in the position of others with whom we have problems? How can we move ahead if we do not have mutual respect for each other, and stemming from it, trust? How can we move ahead if we do not have a common objective that we are committed to reach? These are questions that are in the minds of many in our part of the world at this time.
– King Hussein
There's so much in the Quran on peace, as there is on submission to one God, the attributes of God, heaven and respect for the other two monotheistic religions. These are teachings we don't much hear about, but they affect me in my political life, supporting my firm belief that I'm doing the right thing. It's along these lines that so much can be taught.
– King Hussein
– Jane Haddam
By mutual respect politically, we mean that the political system and path of political development chosen by the people of each country should be respected.

I can't write these marvellous sentences like Martin Amis or Salman Rushdie that crackle with vitality. I do get a great writerly kick out of reading writers at that sentence level, but I suppose I only respect novelists who have a powerful overall vision. I like novelists who can create other interesting worlds.
– Kazuo Ishiguro
I have great admiration and respect for the men and women of the U.S. armed forces, with whom I have worked closely and been embedded in Baghdad, Tikrit, and Mosul and other places. As for my colleagues at CNN, I am enormously proud to have worked with you, risking my life in the trenches with you.
– Eason Jordan
Nations are equal in respect to each other, and entitled to claim equal consideration for their rights, whatever may be their relative dimensions or strength or however greatly they may differ in government, religion or manners.
– James Kent

What I've always said is - and I defended Bill Clinton's position, and I would defend the president's choice with respect to going into the Guard. I've never made any judgments about any choice somebody made about avoiding the draft, about going to Canada, going to jail, being a conscientious objector, going into the National Guard.
– John F. Kerry
My guiding light was not learning to spin or having my trailer lined with photographs of Mahatma Gandhi, or my yoga classes - that's the mechanics of it... But the true guiding light, my yardstick of decency, intelligence and a profound respect for my fellow men was finally pushed out of my larynx and onto the screen - into a performance that is - it's based on you, it belongs to you, you are my guiding light and that is how I did it.
– Ben Kingsley
I prefer what I remember to what is going on today. I don't like what I see today, the irresponsibility, the lack of moral values, permissiveness, lack of respect for the elderly, irresponsibility toward society. It depresses me.
– Ted Knight

We will not agree on every issue. But let us respect those differences and respect one another. Let us recognize that we do not serve an ideology or a political party; we serve the people.
– John Lynch

Law, itself, is a mediating discipline, not only among the passions and needs of human beings, sometimes viewed severally and sometimes in groups or associations, but with respect to the craftsmanship which is useful, and to the relevance of what is perceived as current knowledge or opinion.
– Edward Levi
– Mary McCarthy
– H. L. Mencken
– Wes Montgomery
I know I achieved a lot, and I know I have my little share of respect, but when you talk about playoffs, there is no time to be mad, there is no time to complain, there is no soreness that you can't overcome or pain, sometimes, and I hope I continue to do it. I am going to leave my heart out there for my team.
– Pedro Martinez
– Millicent Carey McIntosh
Guys will just go out and do something. Females will talk about it - a lot. I don't care if I break a nail. You have to be aggressive to get the same respect as the guys.
