I have tried to maintain civil relationships with everyone I meet - and, even if I violently disagree with them, try to be respectful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have a very hard time with confrontation in my own life, and I end up being way too nice.
I try to be respectful of how other people think, I try to listen to what they're saying.
I always have tried to treat people with respect, the way I want to be treated.
A simple rule in dealing with those who are hard to get along with is to remember that this person is striving to assert his superiority; and you must deal with him from that point of view.
I've always had a lot of respect from the people I respected.
Throughout my many years of service to the people of North Carolina, I have always tried to treat people from all viewpoints with respect.
I get along with people. But I don't sacrifice my principles either.
I tolerate my faults but not at all other people's.
I have often seen people uncivil by too much civility, and tiresome in their courtesy.
You don't tell people who disagree with you they'd be better off somewhere else. And you don't reduce them to stereotypes; you address them as fully formed people worthy of respect. You try to persuade them.
