Tecumseh

I respect a woman too much to marry her.
Sylvester Stallone

Awe and respect are two different things.
Oliver Reed

Like I said, I've got too much respect for women to marry them, but that doesn't mean you can't support them emotionally and financially.
Sylvester Stallone

In the sense that you're not at the centre of power, like a president or prime minister of a major power, everyone is marginalised; my position doesn't isn't unique in that respect. I think there are different sorts of relevance in different contexts.
Peter Singer

If there is one realm in which it is essential to be sublime, it is in wickedness. You spit on a petty thief, but you can't deny a kind of respect for the great criminal.

The sea speaks a language polite people never repeat. It is a colossal scavenger slang and has no respect.
Carl Sandburg

When I first came to Nashville, people hardly gave country music any respect. We lived in old cars and dirty hotels, and we ate when we could.

I'm not a big fan of Women's Liberation, but maybe it will help women stand up for the respect they're due.
Loretta Lynn

At the time of Polaroid - and I did a couple of other commercials just before I stopped doing that stuff - at that point I was at the level where they respect you and your opinion and all that sort of thing.
Jim Henson
