RESPECT

I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.”
― Albert Einstein-
It was funny when I saw this quote because this is exactly what I said about Paul Arpin- he always treated everybody with the same respect- rather you were watering his plants or emptying his waste paper basket or sitting across from his desk as a prospective agent or driver.

Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov-
-Unfortunately I have run across this more times then I would like to admit- people that lie so much they start to actually fully believe the lie. These people are the hardest to help.

“Friendship- my definition- is built on two things. Respect and trust. Both elements have to be there. And it has to be mutual. You can have respect for someone, but if you don't have trust, the friendship will crumble."

“How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey.”
― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

“It's very dramatic when two people come together to work something out. It's easy to take a gun and annihilate your opposition, but what is really exciting to me is to see people with differing views come together and finally respect each other.”
― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember
