The notion of improving the condition of the poor had not yet dawned on the mind of the governing class; to make the artizan and the operative self-supporting and self-respectful was a movement not merely unformulated, but a conception beyond the parturient faculty of a member of the Jacquerie. ❋ Unknown (2006)

There are no better friends in the world -- no men who understand each other better -- none who meet and converse more freely at their ease -- none who have more respect for each other -- than a genuine gentleman and a self-respectful humble man, who knows his place in the social scale, and is abundantly satisfied with it. ❋ Timothy Titcomb (N/A)

The people who are entirely self-respectful never have any thing to say about their position in the presence of their children; and it is a cruel thing to teach a child, not that there is a grade of society which is actually above him, but that the persons who occupy that grade look down upon him -- and, in the constitution of society, have the right to look down upon him -- with contempt. ❋ Timothy Titcomb (N/A)

She and hers, her "ould man," her sons and her daughters, were thenceforth our ready and devoted retainers, dexterous and efficient in all manner of service, generous in acknowledging any return that we could make them; respectful and self-respectful; true men and women in their place, not unfit for a higher, and showing the same by their demeanor in a low one. ❋ Various (N/A)
Manners were more self-respectful, and therefore more respectful of others, and personal sensitiveness was fenced with more of that ceremonial with which society armed itself when it surrendered the ruder protection of the sword. ❋ Various (N/A)
I know of men and women who are the favorites of a whole neighborhood -- nay, a whole town -- because they are cheerful, and courageous, and self-respectful under misfortune; and I know of those who are as much dreaded as ❋ Timothy Titcomb (N/A)

With a slight bow Traverse took a chair and drew it up to the table, seated himself and, after a little hesitation, commenced, and in a modest and self-respectful manner announced that he was charged with the last verbal instructions from the doctor to the executor of his will. ❋ Unknown (1888)

“You think because he doesn't love you that you are worthless. You think that because he doesn't want you anymore that he is right -- that his judgement and opinion of you are correct. If he throws you out, then you are garbage. You think he belongs to you because you want to belong to him. Don't. It's a bad word, 'belong.' Especially when you put it with somebody you love. Love shouldn't be like that. Did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? They circle all around it; sometimes you can't even see the mountain for the clouds. But you know what? You go [up top] and what do you see? His head. The clouds never cover the head. His head pokes through, beacuse the clouds let him; they don't wrap him up. They let him keep his head up high, free, with nothing to hide him or [bind] him. You can't own a human being. You [can't lose] what [you don't own]. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don't, do you? And neither does he. You're turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just [give it away], hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can't value you more than you value yourself.”
