Famous quotes containing the word respectful:
“Good marriages are built on respectful disagreement and back-and-forth cooperation. We learn to cue each other, fill in for each other, forgive each others fumbles, celebrate small victories. We revel in the realization that were working on something bigger than both of us, and that parenthood is not only incredibly challenging but also incredibly enriching.”

It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover that God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know whom I mean.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“He may not shine with courtly graces,
But yet, his kind, respectful air
To woman, whatsoeer her place is,
It might be well if kings could share.
So, for the chivalric true gentleman,
Give me, I say, our own American.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (18551919)
