Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and balance in relationships and interactions. It suggests that the power we possess comes from the reciprocation of respect between individuals. The quote implies that showing respect alone may not have much impact unless it is met with an equal level of respect from the other party. By acting out this dual respect, by both giving and receiving respect, we are able to harness our profound influence and strength.
