RESPECT QUOTATIONS
“Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Respect is earned, not given.”

King Hussein Nishah

Thurgood Marshall

Good parenting is many things but none greater than giving the gift of a grandparents wisdom and love. if you have been through a broken relationship, do not take it out on the grandparents of your ex-spouse just for spite. You will leave a void in your children's lives they can never get back. Teach your children to respect the elders just as would every other important thing and encourage them to love their grandparents, no matter what side they come from.
Toni from Ohio DECEMBER 24, 2013
I believe that respect should be honored and cherished, not taken for granted.
Jamie from Maui OCTOBER 18, 2013
I'd like to be the kind of person that when people come in contact with me and leave my presence, they feel better, not worse.

Respect is just another way to say I value and care for you.
Mary from Utah JUNE 17, 2013
Respect should be shown to all living things, not just to humans. The non-human animals that this planet are too often overlooked when we talk about respect. What a lonely place this would be if we didn't have them.
john from honold MAY 8, 2013
you can spend your whole life telling yourself how much you love someone but it's not really love until you give it away!
LCD from California MARCH 21, 2013

Respect is your #1 priority.
kelsey mcbride from swansboro nc JULY 7, 2012
Respecting yourself is a main thing in life. So your family, friends, and animals know who you are. Don't give up on that respect, keep it going, but mainly don't lose faith on your respect of others. Life is worth living, so why not live it.
Anderson from Colatina-ES, Brasil MAY 10, 2012
Moro em um país até agora muito bom, mas a corrupção é a raiz da falta de respeito generalizada, mas espero por um futuro melhor. I live in a country so far very good, but corruption is the root of the widespread lack of respect, but I hope for a better future.
Bruce Willingham from Warner Robins Ga APRIL 12, 2012

Hello. First of all, my best wishes to you all. I wholly support your intent. Thank you for making a difference. You have undertaken a most noble cause. Continued success to you all for helping to re-connect us to the source of what we all can be and do, for the good of us all. May whichever version of God (and they are all one) you worship bless you.
Shara from Provo NOVEMBER 5, 2011
My oldest daughter and I were in your bus television spot several years ago. We were quite excited in fact to become a part of what I believe to be one of the greatest ideas to pass on to future generations what is needed, in order to continue to be our best and do our best! I thank God for everyone involved taking part in this wonderful idea of teaching values and spreading them in such positive ways! Please continue on your good works! Thank you for allowing me to share!
Linda W from Sarasota, Florida APRIL 2, 2011
Respect is a quality that must be carefully nurtured in relation to oneself and to others. Every individual has the capacity to treat oneself and all those in his/her environment with kindness and dignity. The world would be a better place if all humans valued respect and lived that way in their daily lives.
Regina from Maryland MARCH 22, 2011
Respect is being understanding and kind to others who are like you, or the opposite of you. I always like to say no amount of money can buy you respect, but kindness surely can.
Ed W, Jr. from Jonseboro, Tennessee NOVEMBER 7, 2010
