I don't have to agree with you to like you or respect you.

If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.

You don't have to love me but you damn well have to respect me.

You must love someone without expecting anything in return; otherwise it’s not truly love. You must respect someone without expecting anything in return; otherwise you don’t truly respect him. You must speak honestly without expecting a pat on the back or a high-five or a gold star next to your name; otherwise you aren’t truly being honest.

Not everyone will like you. Not everyone will be kind to you. Not everyone will agree with you. That does not mean you have to be unkind in return.

Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are.

We need to decide how we want to be treated. Then we need to begin treating others in that manner.

Love is how you treat someone.

If you want to change the way you feel about people, you have to change the way you treat them.

Treat others as you would be treated. Devote yourself to that, for there’s no more direct approach to Humanity.

Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.

If you want to change the way others treat you, you
should first change the way you treat
yourself. Unless you learn to love yourself, fully
and sincerely, there is no way you can be loved. Once you achieve that stage, however, be thankful for every thorn others might throw at you. It is a sign that you will soon be showered in roses.

Look to be treated by others as you have treated others.

If you don't like yourself, you can't like other people. — Lazarus Long.
