"Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality." ― Frank Herbert Topic(s): Respect More From Frank Herbert "If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual." "When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual." "Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken." More In Respect "Gymnastics taught me everything – life lessons, responsibility and discipline and respect."― Shawn Johnson "There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less."― Bertrand Russell "I have enormous respect for Tom Daschle. The NRA has not yet taken a formal position on which I’m aware of on this matter, and I think Tom may be just getting a little ahead of things."― John Dingell
