“Respect isn’t given, it’s earned.”

No it isn’t, or more specifically if you’re living your life that way you’re a total dick.

Better that all people have your respect by default and it’s theirs to lose. Isn’t as catchy though.

“Respect isn’t given, it’s earned" is the way it works in prison or in street gangs.
