There's one advantage in having been around as long as I have. Everybody in the Senate knows me, and - I'm going to say something presumptuous, to repeat myself - I think most respect me.
— Joe Biden
Ever since the kids were babies, we have treated them with respect. We are the mom and dad for sure, but we look for opportunities for us to sit down and say, 'How are things going for you? Is there anything that we can do as parents to help you? Let's all come up with a solution together.' We work better as a team.
— Jodi Benson
Why is there no respect for Joaquin Andujar?
— Joaquin Andujar
Out of respect to writers, you have to read the book in the way in which the author visualised it going out into the world.
— Joanna Trollope
We've forgotten to respect clothes and consider who made them and where the material came from. We've been encouraged to buy things and, if we don't like them, bin them. When I grew up, we'd repair things or alter them.
— Joanna Lumley
Settings are obviously important - and as a writer, you have to respect what was real at the time of the story you're writing. But the real key to success lies in finding the right characters to carry that story.
— Joan Lingard
I have the absolute utmost respect for soap opera actors now. They work harder than any actor I know in any other medium. And they don't get very much approbation for it.
— Joan Collins

— Jimmy Connors
Brad Pickett is one of the coolest guys in MMA and someone I have a huge amount of respect for.
— Jimi Manuwa
I cannot conjure up an ounce of respect for Bill Clinton when it comes to the military. Every time I see him salute a Marine, it infuriates me. I don't think Bill Clinton cares one iota about what happens in a military unit.
— Jim Webb
That's one of the challenges of investing in China, is the lack of clarity with respect to tax positions.
— Jim Oberweis
There's this myth that there's no loyalty in football. Well, there's tremendous loyalty and emotion and respect that go into the coaches and players you've gone into battle with. But as an owner, you have to make the decisions that are the right ones for the organization, that are the right ones that will help you win.
— Jim Irsay
Our challenge for the future is that we realize we are very much a part of the earth's ecosystem, and we must learn to respect and live according to the basic biological laws of nature.
— Jim Fowler
NASCAR stepped up their safety concepts, and I think the drivers feel NASCAR is doing everything that can be done. So we are a little behind NASCAR in that respect. Someone in NASCAR realized there were certain things that could be done to make it safer. The same thing has to happen in football.
— Jim Brown
I have always had a great deal of respect and admiration for Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a true humanitarian and champion of Women's Rights and Civil Rights.
— Jill Biden
The writers I respect the most had an undying commitment to a vision.

You can tell a person's morale from their Twitter feed. I like that; it's so honest. And I like being able to follow people who I respect and admire, and the possibility of them seeing my comment about them.
— Jessie Cave
At Babbo, each dish grew out of a conversation, trying to put something forth that was new and different. It was a combination of culinary adventurism and the dining-room experience with respect for the classic but with an eye toward innovation. And it was about eating locally, whether produce or fish or meat.
— Joe Bastianich
Arguably, my student status and perhaps my gender were also my downfall with respect to the Nobel Prize, which was awarded to Professor Antony Hewish and Professor Martin Ryle. At the time, science was still perceived as being carried out by distinguished men.
— Jocelyn Bell Burnell
No one should be so precious as to refuse criticism of their work. But to respect an opinion, we have to know that it was given honestly and with proper thought.
— Joanne Harris
In high school, we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.
— Joanna Newsom
I have so much respect for Rose Namajunas, same as I had before the first fight.
— Joanna Jedrzejczyk
Who on earth can feel any respect for a girl who chases?
— Joan Leslie
I always give respect to and pay homage to New York, because I don't feel like I would be the player that I am today if it wasn't for New York City. It gives you a certain edge, a certain toughness just growing up in the city.
— Joakim Noah
You start to look at it with a deeper respect and I think that deeper respect for what you do builds more self-respect.
— Jimmy Chamberlin
But the thing about Brazilian fans is that they respect top fighters and I will win them over. When my hand is raised I believe they will cheer for me.
Vince McMahon has overachieved his entire life in a big way. I got to know him really well and still have great respect for him.
— Jim Ross
The sport is not about one player, and I say that with a world of respect for his talents on the golf course. But the game is bigger than Tiger Woods.
— Jim Nantz
Teachers have the hardest and most important jobs in America. They're building our nation. And we should appreciate them, respect them, and pay them well.

Managers have very tough jobs. I always respected their job but demanded respect in return.
— Jim Evans
One of the things I love about Africa is the amount of dignity and respect and humility you see all the time. You don't realise how often you're disrespected until you are surrounded by respect.
— Jill Scott
Initially, it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living, three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas.
— Jil Sander
I've had to gain weight for roles and ugly myself up for roles. So yeah, I'm game. I'm game for that kind of thing. I'm certainly not too vain in that respect. If it's a great role, I'm willing to do whatever it is that it takes.
— Jewel Staite
I have so much respect for my mom and all the women across the world.
— Jessica Simpson
Talking to people who have served was eye-opening and left me with a huge amount of respect for what they do.
— Joe Alwyn
I still think that movies are amazing; I respect actors and directors.
— Joaquin Phoenix
I find littering very annoying. It's a minor but also a major thing: a society that litters is one that also has so little respect for the environment and, consequently, other people. If we had clean streets, a lot of other things would be fixed almost effortlessly.
My mother early on taught us to respect all animals, and I mean all animals - not just cats and dogs but rats and snakes and spiders and fish and wildlife, so I really grew up believing they are just like us and just as deserving of consideration.
Don't tell your kids you had an easy birth or they won't respect you. For years I used to wake up my daughter and say, 'Melissa you ripped me to shreds. Now go back to sleep.'.
— Joan Rivers
To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.
— Joan Didion
I rage when Boris Johnson is more interested in sucking up to Donald Trump than standing up for British values of decency, equality and respect.
— Jo Swinson
In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you're a moderate on abortion, if you're a moderate on gun control, or if you're a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us.
— Jimmy Carter
I've got big respect for Corey Anderson. He's a great fighter, he poses a big threat.
I've got a lot of respect for tuba players, just carrying that thing around.
— Jim Pattison
Civility is not about dousing strongly held views. It's about making sure that people are willing to respect other perspectives.
— Jim Leach
At the time of Polaroid - and I did a couple of other commercials just before I stopped doing that stuff - at that point I was at the level where they respect you and your opinion and all that sort of thing.
— Jim Henson
I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.
— Jim Carrey
The study of history requires investigation, imagination, empathy, and respect. Reverence just doesn't enter into it.
— Jill Lepore
First of all, I respect The Game. He's trail-blazed for artists like myself. I appreciate him, having - living in L.A. myself and knowing what he stands for and what he stood for.
— Jidenna
Frank Ocean - I have so much respect for him.
— Jessie Reyez
