“In a world where so many yearn to be liked I rather be respected.”

I write what I can’t say. I weep for these emotions.

I will minimize your place in my life till your absence is no longer an issue.

Not everyone you love is going to love you the way you need.

Sometimes letting go isn’t the loss you think it is.

Do not make excuses for someone not reciprocating what you give. You deserve someone who’s supportive and brings you happiness.

Don’t get stuck with someone who’s not willing to commit all because you’re afraid to be alone.

Pain is inevitable. It’s how we choose to heal that matters.

I don’t need a big wedding just someone worth spending the rest of my life with.

I guess what I’ve always wanted was someone who loves me enough to match my effort.

Don’t let feeling lonely be a gateway to letting people who aren’t really for you into your life.

You deserve to be with someone who looks at you everyday with the realization that you are everything they need.

You and I were always made for this moment. Fate may have brought us together, but we chose to stay.

No one knows the things you have endured like you. Your flaws tell your story there is no need to hide them.

We say we love ourselves but allow others to mistreat us. How?

While you were claiming to protect me from others, someone should have protected me from you.

There is a price which is too great to pay for peace, and that price can be put in one word. One cannot pay the price of self-respect.

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.

Once we give up searching for approval we often find it easier to earn respect.

Virtue, though clothed in a beggar’s garb, commands respect.

What would happen if even one generation were raised with respect and without violence?

Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and respect of self, in turn, is the chief element in courage.

Like I said, I’ve got too much respect for women to marry them, but that doesn’t mean you can’t support them emotionally and financially.

I was taught a very strong work ethic that included punctuality, which I’ve always felt is a sign of respect for others.
