The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
– Francis Maitland Balfour
Yes, I truly believe that you can’t give respect to other people if you don’t respect yourself first. You can’t share what you don’t have.
