He that respects not is not respected. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Virtue respects not blood and alliance. [ Proverb ]

No one is happy unless he respects himself. [ J. J. Rousseau ]

The instances, that second marriage move, are base respects of thrift, but none of love. [ William Shakespeare ]

Friendship should be surrounded with ceremonies and respects, and not crushed into corners. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]

Dexterity respects the manner of executing things; it is the mechanical facility of performing an office. [ Abbe Girard ]

A man after death is not a natural but a spiritual man; nevertheless he still appears in all respects like himself. [ Swedenborg ]

Grace pays its respects to true intrinsic worth, not to the mere signs and trappings of it, which often only show where it ought to be, not where it really is. [ Thomas à Kempis ]

Nature eschews regular lines; she does not shape her lines by a common model. Not one of Eve's numerous progeny in all respects resembles her who first culled the flowers of Eden. To the infinite variety and picturesque inequality of nature we owe the great charm of her uncloying beauty. [ Whittier ]

A newspaper, like a theatre, must mainly owe its continuance in life to the fact that it pleases many persons; and in order to please many persons it will, unconsciously perhaps, respond to their several tastes, reflect their various qualities, and reproduce their views. In a certain sense it is evolved out of the community that absorbs it, and, therefore, partaking of the character of the community, while it may retain many merits and virtues, it will display itself, as in some respects ignorant, trivial, narrow, and vulgar. [ William Winter ]
