Respect is the art of reciprocal. You can never earn respect by belittling and stepping over the people around you.
~ Hafiz
Respect isn't automatically earned. You have to first position yourself with a level of mannerism that's worth emulating, before others could see a strong reason to respect you.
A person with a good heart will always earn my utmost respect over an arrogant individual with all the worldly treasures in their hands.
Barking at people earns their respect about as effectively as staring into the sun improves your vision.
~ Richelle E. Goodrich
