Nothing sits so gracefully upon children, and makes them so lovely, as habitual respect and dutiful deportment toward their parents and their superiors.

J. E. READE

attributed, Day's Collacon


Got no respect for them dudes who hit they women and
Got no respect for the fools who leave they children and
I just wanna take care of my family
Got no respect if you ain't trying to do the right thing

"Respect"


Everyone agrees that self-respect is important. Without it, people tend to make a mess of their lives, or nothing of them at all. It is a character trait that we try to instill in our children so that they may become strong, productive, and happy adults. But when we ask whether self-respect is of moral importance--whether self-respect is a morally good trait of persons, whether its absence can constitute a kind of moral failure, and so on--we find less agreement.

I took him some flowers
Passed pillars and towers
The statue defaced and unclean
And though he might lie there
I don't think that you care
And your graffiti confirms the scene
His birthday arrived
You just can't stand quiet
Your lack of respect is obscene
