Self Respect Quotes to Remind You Of The Importance of Looking After YOU!
Be Inspired by our collection of inspirational Self Respect Quotes to remind you of the importance of YOU!
As a wise man once said: “When everything else in the world fails you, you will always have your self-respect to fall back on.”Self-respect, self-worth, self-confidence, and self-love are all keys to living authentic and happy lives. When we become masters of the ‘self’ we can then master life. You must honor yourself by respecting yourself!
Self-respect is not about being egotistical but about having pride in who you are. Having a healthy amount of self-respect aid us to focus on our strengths and propel us towards our goals in life. Self-respect is about having dignity and not letting others walk all over us and put us down, if people can see that we have an abundance of self-respect they are more likely to admire us!
The importance of respecting yourself is profound, it has a snowball effect on every part of your life. If you don’t respect yourself then how are others supposed to respect you?
I feel like with this article I’m going a bit above the usual as I, (just like you) have issues with self-respect. I have spent my whole life trying to earn the respect of the people around me, unsure as to why I couldn’t hold down a stable relationship or a good job.
With a highly successful family, I always felt like a bit of a black sheep. The one that couldn’t make it. It took many, many years for me to put myself first and by doing so started to slowly but surely start to respect that I was unique and I had the potential to really push past these negative feelings of self-worth and start to climb the ladder. Before too long I was starting to notice that actually, I have set the bar too high, I’m a completely different person to anyone in my family, a black sheep, maybe, but at least I was unique! I had been shaped into someone that I wanted to be, not what they wanted me to be. I grew confidence from a seed and it finally bloomed into a weed that can’t be killed. I LOVE myself in a non-narcissistic way, and I know that you can too! Turn that seed of doubt into a seed of self-respect.
I now have a beautiful family of my own that loves me for who I am, and a job that is unique to the lifestyle that I just couldn’t be without! My web has been spun from that small boy with no self-respect, into a man that loves his life and most importantly I have respect for myself.

Famous Self-Respect Quotes
Be inspired by our collection of thought-provoking Self Respect Quotes from a variety of some of the most famous minds throughout time. I personally think that sometimes it takes a Mahatma Gandhi to tell you how it is! I can hear you saying but my name is Joe Blogs from L.A., I’m, not a Gandhi.
All I will say to that is… Not yet you’re not!
Self-Respect Quotes
Find below some of the best quotes that I could find from unique authors with many quotes you have probably never seen before! I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed sourcing them! Self-respect is hard to earn but these quotes will definitely give you a helping hand and the benefits from trying a new mindset will be seen almost immediately. Happy reading.
Dignity and Self-Respect Quotes
Dignity and self-respect go hand in hand, like bread and butter or cereal with milk. You cant have one without the other, so i thought it was important to source some quotes that remind you of that.
Self-Respect Walk Away Quotes
Whether a friendship or relationship is testing you and pushing you to the edge, you must find the courage, gather your self-respect, put one foot in front of the other, and WALK AWAY. At first, it may be tough, and ‘going it alone’ may feel daunting but you owe it to yourself to be happy. Once we have learned to value our true selves we will then attract people who value and respect us. Use the alone time to work on yourself, make yourself emotionally stronger, and be more able to cope with the challenges life throws at you. Maybe take up some hobbies that you didn’t have time for before, get back in touch with yourself
Self-Respect and Love Quotes
Self-respect is about loving yourself for who you truly are. Without the act of self-love, how can one be expected to respect themselves, and without self-respect how can one be expected to be loved? If a relationship is not giving you the love that it should be, maybe it’s time to close the door and open another?
We hope these quotes inspire and remind you to love number one first.
Relationship Self-Respect Quotes
Self-respect is an imperative part of every relationship, there must be a balance of self-respect and respect for the other party else one will get drowned in their ego. Self-respect is important so that you don’t become a pushover and stick up for what you believe in, again I truly believe this is about balance because if we aren’t willing to change certain things how will we be expected to grow.
