I really don't spend any time on the Internet so I guess I live a little under a rock in that respect.

I think somehow men understand other men's need for respect differently than they understand it for a woman. I'm disappointed to have to say that but I think it's undeniably true.

I am a feminist and what that means to me is much the same as the meaning of the fact that I am Black: it means that I must undertake to love myself and to respect myself as though my very life depends upon self-love and self-respect.

I for one respect those who believe with all their hearts and conscience that there are no circumstances under which any abortion should ever be available.

We are more thoroughly an enlightened people with respect to our political interests than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

Be modest be respectful of others try to understand.

I have no right by anything I do or say to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.

Religion is the idol of the mob it adores everything it does not understand.

When men take pleasure in feeling their minds elevated with strong drink and so indulge their appetite as to disorder their understandings neglect their duty as members of a family or civil society and cast off all regard to religion their case is much to be pitied.

There is a great interest in comparative religion and a desire to understand faiths other than our own and even to experiment with exotic cults.
