Respect is what we owe; love, what we give.

Respect is the word I want. You have to earn it. You give, and you get it in return, that's how I see it.

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

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love.

You get respect when you give respect. That's how you get respect.

Respect is not ever assigned; it's earned.

Respect can be as elusive as the unicorn. I know something of this because I write books that are set in the Middle Ages, and the historical novel is often seen as the unwanted stepchild in the fictional family. I know even more about respect - or the lack thereof - because I live in New Jersey.

I think I have a certain respect for people, you know. And I guess a lot of times I expect that respect to go both ways.

I respect everybody, but at the same time, I carry myself with an aura that demands respect, too.

Respecting people is an important part of life, whether it's the person doing janitorial work or the person above you. It doesn't matter who you are: I'm going to respect you.
