I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes.  What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself.  To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.  ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery


Respect for ourselves guides our morals; respect for others guides our manners.  ~Laurence Sterne


You punch me, I punch back.  I do not believe it's good for ones self-respect to be a punching bag.  ~Edward Koch
 

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.  ~Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Jag föredrar att vara sann mot mig själv, även med risken att drabbas av förlöjligande av andra, snarare än att vara falsk, och att ådra min egen avsky. ~ Frederick Douglass 

Om jag föraktade mig själv skulle det ändå inte kompenseras om alla älskade mig, om jag respekterar mig själv så spelar det ingen roll vad andra tycker om mig eller inte tycker om mig. 

"I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I have to say to the world. I run my world."

- Beyonce

If you want to fly you have to get rid of everything that holds you down.

"Success comes trough rapidly fixing our mistakes rather than getting things right the first time"

A door shut? See the window there, it's open, just for you.

It's the art of letting go, no longer holding on to the past, instead looking forward to the future. But it's not forgetting, it's accepting life as it is.

It is moving on...

Listen to your instinct. It will tell you what's right.
