"It is his restraint that is honorable to a person, not their liberty."

"It's really important in our society to tell stories, and I feel grateful and honoured that I get to do that in this day and age."

"I long remained a child, and I am still one in many respects."

"We're pleased to have someone as well-respected as Dom join the Dolphins. He brings a wealth of knowledge to Miami and will be a valuable addition to our staff."

"You don't luck into integrity. You work at it."

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

"We must respect the past, and mistrust the present, if we wish to provide for the safety of the future."

"Respect the burden."

"Respect yourself if you would have others respect you."

My voice had a long, nonstop career. It deserves to be put to bed with quiet and dignity, not yanked out every once in a while to see if it can still do what it used to do. It can't.

“A man’s intentions should be allowed in some respects to plead for his actions.”

“Respect is one of life’s greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don’t have that?”

“America wants its respect.”

“There is no act of treachery or mean-ness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honour”

“In many respects, the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society. In America, the professor talks to the mechanic. They are in the same category.”

“Even as the quality of available water is constantly diminishing, in some places there is a growing tendency, despite its scarcity, to privatize this resource, turning it into a commodity subject to the laws of the market. Yet access to safe drinkable water is a basic and universal human right, since it is essential to human survival and, as such, is a condition for the exercise of other human rights. Our world has a grave social debt towards the poor who lack access to drinking water, because they are denied the right to a life consistent with their inalienable dignity.” 

“In order to retain a certain respect for sausages and laws, one must not see them being made.” 

“Be respectful to your superiors, if you have any.”

His respect for people who practiced philosophy – at least, those who were sincere about it. But without denigrating the others – or listening to them.

“You can gain or buy friends by letting them control you, but you will have to keep them the same way you got them. After allowing them to control you to keep their friendship for a while, you will eventually get tired of having no freedom. Being lonely is actually better than being manipulated and controlled. When you enter into a new relationship, be careful how you get started. What you allow in the beginning will come to be expected throughout your association with that person. The behavior you tolerate at the start of a relationship should be behavior you can be happy with permanently. Let people know by your actions that even though you would like their approval, you can live without it. Respect others, and let them know you expect them to respect you, too.” 

Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.
