One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered. @ -Michael J. Fox
If people are trying to bring you down, it only means you are above them.
Fake people hate honesty. It's the lies that keep them feeling good about themselves and their lives. So share your true feelings about their actions and watch how they fade away.
The common mistake that bullies make is assuming that because someone is nice that he or she is weak. Those traits have nothing to do with each other. In fact, it takes considerable strength and character to be a good person.

If they respect you, respect them. If they disrespect you, still respect them. Do not allow the actions of others to decrease your good manners, because you represent yourself, not others.
Don't let anyone's ignorance, hate, drama or negativity stop you from being the best person you can be.
Choose people who choose you.
Don't fear the enemy that attacks you, but the fake friend that hugs you.

Don't let the noise of other people's opinions drown your inner voice. @ -Steve Jobs

If people are hating on you it's often because they are: 1. Threatened by you, 2. Jealous of you or 3. Feeling like you're above them so they put you down to feel better about themselves. The greatest people have haters for a reason, so take it as a compliment. @ -Jeanette Coron
This isn't a high school thing or an age thing. It's a people thing. People cut other people down out of jealousy, because of something broken inside them, or for no reason at all. Just don't let them change you or stop you from singing or dancing around to your favorite song. @ -Taylor Swift
Let your haters be your motivation. @ -Jasmine Upwork
Never let someone make you feel less than who you are. @ -Jasmine Upwork

I am thankful for the way I was raised, to be positive. Even when times have gotten rough I have always tried to look on the bright side. Even when I was put down, yelled at and made feel insignificant, I still thought things were alright. I did realize when enough is enough. @ -Angela Merkel
The people who are bullying you, they're insecure about who they are, and that's why they're bullying you. It never has to do with the person they're bullying.

Remember this: They hate you because you represent something they feel they don't have. It really isn't about you. It is about the hatred they have for themselves. So smile today because there is something you are doing right that has a lot of people thinking about you. @ -Shannon L. Alder
