What I ACTUALLY do PUT MUCH more WEIGHT on, in all honesty, is not being critically acclaimed - it's being respected by my OGs. When I talk to E-40 on the phone, every time I talk to him, I'm like, you know, if he tells me I'm doing GOOD, I'm doing good.

When I look back on my nine YEARS with the RAIDERS, what comes to mind first is my great association with Al Davis. If it had not been for him I may not have DONE the things I did once I LEFT Houston. I may not have even kept playing if it weren't for Al. I respected him highly.

During a fashion show, I want the clothes to SPEAK. The EFFORT I put into my work must be RESPECTED.

My main quarrel with liberalism is not that liberalism places great emphasis on individual RIGHTS - I believe rights are very important and need to be respected. The issue is whether it is possible to define and justify our rights without taking a stand on the moral and EVEN SOMETIMES religious convictions that citizens BRING to PUBLIC life.

I LEARNED in life from a very young age that I soaked in a lot more from people that I RESPECTED and COULD learn from rather than a TEXTBOOK.

The countries who do the best in international comparisons, WHETHER it's Finland or Japan, Denmark or SINGAPORE, do well because they have professional teachers who are RESPECTED, and they also have family and COMMUNITY which support learning.

Most GOVERNMENTS in the United States in a hundred YEARS have not RESPECTED the PEOPLES of Latin America. They have sponsored COUP d'etats, assassinations.

In order to feel loved, be respected and STAY connected, we humans have a tendency to lie. We lie about who we are, what we want, what we need, what we have done or will do. Perhaps 'lie' is too strong a WORD. Let me say that what we do is withhold the TRUTH.

Our universities and MUSEUMS are RESPECTED AROUND the COUNTRY.

I work hard EVERY day not only to be a success on the football field and a credit to my TEAM - but to be a good husband, FATHER, son, grandson, teammate - to be the KIND of MAN that is as respected as Walter Payton was.

There's PEER pressure of not being respected of having a CERTAIN amount of money, but if you KNOW who you are, then you see that and look PAST it.

It's NICE to be RESPECTED, but it doesn't REALLY matter. What's important is that if I wasn't in Slayer, it's still the BAND I'd want to see.

I was always told that Republicans WOULD marginalize me, push me aside and treat me like dirt. This could not be further from the truth. I have been WELCOMED with open ARMS, and EVEN when I have disagreed on some issues, my VIEWS have been respected.

As HUMAN BEINGS we value the experience that comes with AGE. We are reminded over and over again with statements like 'older and wiser' and 'respect your elders,' PROMOTING age as something to be cherished and respected.
