Don't worry when you are not recognized but strive to be worthy of recognition

If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.

To see ourselves as others see us!

If theres something you want to see in others, make sure they can see it in you first

If you want to be respected, start by respecting yourself.

Respect yourself is you would have others respect you.

Try your best to develop an ability to let others look into your head and heart. Learn to make your thoughts, your ideas, clear to others, individually, in groups, in public. You will find, as you improve in your effort to do this, that you — your real self — are making an impression, an impact, on people such as you never made before.

But when we look for the good in others, we start to see the best in ourselves too.

Respect yourself and others will respect you.

To see ourselves as others see us is a most salutary gift. Hardly less important is the capacity to see others as they see themselves.

You show your humanity by how you see yourself not as apart from others but from your connection to others.

I would know of myself through the witnessing and naming of others. As Jesus in the Gospels is only seen and spoken of and recorded by others. I would know my existence and the value of that existence through others' eyes, which I believed I could trust as I could not trust my own.

The only essential thing is that we strive to have light in ourselves. Our strivings will be recognized by others, and when people have light in themselves, it will shine out from them. Then we get to know each other as we walk together in the darkness, without needing to pass our hands over each other’s faces, or to intrude into each other’s hearts.

feel what I feel within myself — that is trying to become aware of it also what I feel in others not being ashamed of my feeling, thoughts — or ideas realize the thing that they are —
