From the song 'Respect Yourself' by Huey Lewis & The News:

If you disrespect everybody
That you run into
How in the world do you think
Anybody's supposed to respect you?

If you don't give a heck
About the man with the Bible in his hand
Just get out the way
And let the gentleman do his thing

You're the kind of Know-it-all
Want everything your way
Take the sheet off your face, boy
It's a brand new day

Respect yourself, respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot
Respect yourself, respect yourself

If you're walking 'round thinking
That the world owes you something
'Cause you're young
You goin' out the world backwards
Like your day when you first come here

You keep on talking 'bout the President
You won't stop at pollution, no
Put your hand on your mouth when you cough
That'll help the solution

Oh, you cuss around women
For you don't even know their names, no
And you're dumb enough to think
That'll make you a big old man, oh

Respect yourself, ah yeah
You ought to respect yourself, yeah
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot
Respect yourself, respect yourself, yeah
Respect yourself, yeah, respect yourself

What's happening to the world, yeah
Nobody respects themselves
You ought to respect your name
You ought to respect yourself, respect yourself
Respect yourself, respect yourself

A lack of respect for others can lead to much conflict. In general, people do not respond well to someone they believe is disrespecting them.

"Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too."
- Will Smith

"Don't let people disrespect you. My mom says don't open the door to the devil. Surround yourself with positive people."
- Cuba Gooding, Jr.

The truth is, some people may not listen to you because you took advantage of them or disrespected them or caused trouble. It is hard to persuade such a person.

"Did you really think that
I would really take you back,
Let you back in my heart one more time,
Oh, No, No.
Did you think that I'd still care
That there'd be more feeling there,
Did you think you could walk back in my life.
So you found you miss the love you threw away,
Baby but you found it out too late. Too Late."
From the song 'I Learned From The Best' by Whitney Houston
