I have always believed that I should have had no difficulty in causing my rights to be respected.
People want to hear what I have to say and respect what I say.
But really, we also need to learn how to love one another as women. How to appreciate and respect each other.
A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.
Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.
One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.
Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.
I submit that an individual who breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.
Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.
If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
