Posts Tagged ‘Respect’

I have too much respect for people to try to control them.  But they are estranged from love, afraid to reach out and touch one another.  We’re afraid to appear sentimental or speak in platitudes because people will say, ‘What a jerk!’  It takes courage in our culture to be a lover.

Love can often be misguided and do as much harm as good, but respect can do only good.  It assumes that the other person’s stature is as large as one’s own, his rights as reasonable, his needs as important.

Goodness is always an asset.  A man who is straight, friendly and useful may never be famous, but he is respected and liked by all who know him.  He has laid a sound foundation for success and he will have a worthwhile life.

To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden path, or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life breathes easier because you have lived:  this is to have succeeded.
    —    Ralph Waldo Emerson

We do not completely love those at whom we cannot smile.  There is something inhuman in absolute perfection which overwhelms the mind and heart, which commands respect, but keeps friendship at a distance through discouragement and humiliation.  We are always glad when a great man reassures us of his humanity by possessing a few peculiarities.
