All my problems bow before my stubbornness.

If a person loves you but doesn't respect you then it can not be a real love. It is not possible to love them without respecting them.

I cannot compromise my respect for your love. You can keep your love, I will keep my respect.

Liking me is optional
. . .
Respecting me is not!

We don’t have to like each other. We just need to respect each other.

Your position may be highly powerful, but you will be a hero only when you are highly respected.
