"Live with integrity, respect the rights of other people, and follow your own bliss." ― Nathaniel Branden Topic(s): Society More From Nathaniel Branden "There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity." "The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance." "Productive achievement is a consequence and an expression of health and self-esteem, not its cause." More In Society "After 25-plus years as a lawyer, prosecutor, and defense attorney, I have developed a deep appreciation for both the wisdom of the law and the role that jurists play in framing the rights and responsibilities that define our society."― Eliot Spitzer "My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all."― John Lennon "Movies are movies: they take you back in time, and how it still is for some."― Tina Turner
