Respect

Respect

I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.

Respect

Work with respect for your associates, for their opinions, for their beliefs, with appreciation for their problems, and with a desire to help them should they stumble.

Respect For Self

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion than on the opinion of others. For if a god or a wise teacher should present himself to a man and bid him to think of nothing and to design nothing which he would not express as soon as he conceived it, he could not endure it even for a single day. So much more respect have we for what our neighbors think of us than for what we think of ourselves.
(Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Chapter XII, 4)

Boundaries

... boundaries are a civilizing ingredient in social interaction, a matter of self-respect and respect for others. Setting limits requires some degree of communication skills because others cannot read my mind nor I theirs. Others need to know how I feel and I need to lovingly communicate my feelings. Likewise, it is important that I listen to and respect their feelings.
(Hope For Today, 6 November)

Melva hung the ornaments on our little Christmas tree. I unwrapped the rest of the figurines from the Christmas Village display and replaced three light bulbs that I didn't like in the ceramic houses yesterday. I'll need to go up in the attic one more time to organize the empty boxes and to put away the last boxes when the decorating is done. We've been working on the project for at least three days.

Fate

Fate plays a crucial role in most dark nights, and it pays to have respect for the role of fate and destiny in our lives. (Thomas Moore, Dark Nights Of The Soul,  p. 28) 7 July 2013

Respect Freedom

You should respect freedom in yourself, and in your neighbor, and in all people. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 25 October) 24 January 2013

Emmylou Harris 20th Anniversary On The Grand Ole Opry

Emmylou Harris

A society of markets, laws and elections is not enough if the rich and powerful fail to behave with respect, honesty, and compassion toward the rest of society and toward the world.  (Jeffrey D. Sachs, The Price Of Civilization, p. 3)

Last night I listened to the hour-long celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Emmylou Harris as a member of The Grand Ole Opry via the streaming audio of WSM 650 am in Nashville, TN.  They were performing in The Ryman.  Emmylou invited lots of guest: Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell, Shawn Colvin, Buddy Miller, Kimmie Rhodes.  While listening to the program I discovered that The Cracker Barrel website has an Internet radio station.
