David Brooks Quotes

Self-respect Is Not The Same As Self-confidence Or Self-esteem. Self-respect Is Not Based On IQ Or Any Of The Mental Or Physical Gifts That Help Get You Into A Competitive College. It Is Not Comparative. It Is Not Earned By Being Better Than Other People At Something. It Is Earned By Being Better Than You Used To Be, By Being Dependable In Times Of Testing, Straight In Times Of Temptation. It Emerges In One Who Is Morally Dependable. Self-respect Is Produced By Inner Triumphs, Not External Ones.
