The overweening self-respect of conceited men relieves others from the duty of respecting them at all

Self-respect The secure feeling that no one, as yet, is suspicious

Yet some can be patriotic who have no self-respect, and sacrifice the greater to the less. They love the soil which makes their graves, but have no sympathy with the spirit which may still animate their clay. Patriotism is a maggot in their heads.

Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect.

If he has any self respect he would resign over this matter. The negligence is so gross.

I believe that if each and every person really worked to possess self-respect and genuine regard for his fellowman, there could be no crime. There could be no wars.
