People’s Respect for You 

Do not demand that people respect you,… but leave them to feel respect for you of their own accord because they find in you qualities which compel their respect. So do not find fault with another person if he has not shown you respect. On the contrary, it would be better to find fault with yourself, and consider that you have acted in a way that has diminished other people’s respect for you. Be sure that you know that respect is one thing but fear is something else. People may fear you on account of your position or power or strength, but this does not mean that they respect you. Respect is an inner feeling of reverence in praise of certain exalted qualities or humane or spiritual values.
