Respect is not given, it is earned. — © Brian Dawkins
Respect is not given, it is earned.

The longer you've known someone- the more history there is between you- the longer it will take to establish in their mind that you have truly changed.

Forgiveness will be in the hands of others and cna be given to you, but trust and respect are in your own hands and must be earned.
Once you've proved to [the players] that you can help them become better players, you've earned their respect. They respect if you've achieved at a high level in this league, but that's not what they respect you for as a coach.
Respect earned through fear instead of deeds, was not truly respect.

Great horror movies are earned. 'Halloween' is an earned picture. Every moment of grotesque violence is earned by the suspense they're able to maintain getting there.
What's great about my father is that, because we've been involved in the business from such a young age, he's given us - and we've earned - autonomy, and he's given us the rope to go out and grow the brand.
Respect is not ever assigned; it's earned.
Greatness is earned, not given.
Be kind. Always. Give love freely and never wait for it to come back. If it breathes, grows, or has even a single cell bouncing around inside it, love it, too. Each and every thing deserves and has earned more respect than it's given so start the trend and I promise, promise that you will feel part of it all when you hold life in your hands.
