Don’t wait for people to treat you with respect. Whatever it is that you want from other people, you must give it out. Be the first person to love people, to respect people, and to treat people with dignity.

Nothing is free. If you want love, then give love to others. If you want to be treated with respect, then treat others with respect. And it will come back to you.

According to Gregg Ward, ‘Be the first to respect. Don’t wait to be treated with respect before being respectful. Be the first to treat everyone you meet, even perfect strangers, with respect.’
