AnneRobertJacques TurgotRespect is tendered with pleasure only where it is not exacted.
About This Quote
Every man has his own way of doing things, and a man who does not want to be respected will do everything he can to avoid having respect given to him by other people. Respect is a gift that people give each other because they feel that the person deserves it. If you want respect, you should earn it by doing things that make people feel that you deserve respect.
