About This Quote
Be beautiful if you can, wise if you want to, but be respected - that is essential. Respect can be defined as the respect of others. Respect implies the recognition of another person's dignity or worth or importance. It is a deep-seated feeling of admiration for another person or for something.
This quote implies that if you are beautiful, wise and respected in your life, then that is enough. However, if you do not have any of these things in your life, then the quote says that it is still possible to be respected and that all three traits can be found in one person.
