The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.

The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs the final battleground of the American dream where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It's very romantic in that way but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

If guys don't respect themselves they don't respect other people. That's times and personalities. And all of them are not that way. But it don't take but one or two to screw up the whole crowd.

Hopefully this movie will help people understand that if a child is never given the tools to know how to love others and love and respect themselves this is what happens.

I'm a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women and part of that involves how we present ourselves.

If we have no respect for our viewers then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we do?

We don't do drugs drink or use profanity. Instead we instill morals and values in my boys by raising them with a love of God and a love and respect for themselves and all people. I believe they will have a chance.

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for people who put themselves on the line.

Somebody who's really comfortable with who she is and doesn't care what other people think. I like women who are really strong and were brought up to be comfortable with themselves and respect themselves.

Every human being of whatever origin of whatever station deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves.

I think that people who live in cultures without quite so much privilege opportunity or grandiosity have a little bit more respect for the workings of destiny and the limitations that people can find themselves in through no fault of their own.

But it's important while we are supporting lessons in respecting others to remember that many of our youngest kids need to learn to respect themselves. You learn your worth from the way you are treated.

True humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.

Find your self-respect now. Don't dumb yourselves down. Think of yourself as capable and worthy of finding a guy who is going to respect you too. It's so important I mean and the confidence you get from feeling smart and tackling something like mathematics which is a challenge right? Math is hard.

Respect for ourselves guides our morals respect for others guides our manners.

They become the keepers of the mystery. They place themselves between the communicants of the religion and the immediate experience. And then they dictate the terms on which you can have contact with this wonderful mystery. We don't dictate those terms.

The songs keep on writing themselves and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.

There is a holy mistaken zeal in politics as well as in religion. By persuading others we convince ourselves.

Is woman a religion? Well perhaps you will have the chance of judging for yourselves if you go to America. There you will find men treating women with just the same respect formerly accorded only to religious dignitaries or to great nobles.

Let us not seek to bring religion to others but let us endeavor to live it ourselves.

Religion which lays so many restraints upon us is a troublesome companion to those who will lay no restraints upon themselves.

It may be that religion is dead and if it is we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late.

I see no way out of the problems that organized religion and tribalism create other than humans just becoming more honest and fully aware of themselves.
