SELF-RESPECT. No more important duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theatre of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions— Chapin. To have a respect for ourselves guides our morals; and to have a deference for others governs our manners. Sterne. What has an individual gained by losing his own self-respect? or what has he lost when, retaining his own, he loses the homage of fools, or the pretentious praise of hypocrites, false .o themselves as to others? —Mary Baker Eddy. He that respects himself is safe from others; He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. —Longfellow. Self-respect is the noblest garment with which a man may clothe himself, the most elevating feeling with which the mind can be inspired. — Samuel Smiles. It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful -o himself.—Tom Paine.
