Love may precede respect but it cannot survive the loss of i

Summary

This quote suggests that love can initially exist without respect, but if respect is lost in a relationship, love alone cannot sustain it. It implies that respect is a crucial element in maintaining a healthy and lasting connection. While love may serve as the foundation, the absence of respect can erode the relationship over time. Respect involves valuing and admiring the other person's qualities, boundaries, and individuality. Without respect, love becomes fragile and vulnerable to crumbling under the weight of misunderstandings, mistreatment, and a lack of appreciation.

It is important for women to have a choice, to have an opportunity to plan their families, because if they don't, the Republicans have said this is an ownership society. You are on your own, and they're going to begrudge that child everything, from WIC to a Pell Grant to health insurance.

I would hesitate to use the word 'success' in the way many people do. I don't know that I would apply it to what I've done as though I have now reached the ultimate goal. To me success is a continuing thing. It is growth and development. It is achieving one thing and using that as a stepping stone to achieve something else. Success comes as you have confidence in yourself. Self-confidence is built by succeeding, even if the success is small. It is the believing that makes it possible.
