Respect...............................

. . . recognize a sadly persistent fact:  the concepts contained in words like "freedom," "justice," "democracy" are not common concepts;  on the contrary, they are rare.  People are not born knowing what these are.  It takes enormous and, above all, individual effort to arrive at the respect for other people that these words imply.

-James Baldwin, from his essay The Crusade of Indignation as found in The Price Of The Ticket:  Collected Nonfiction: 1948-1985
