This quote by Wayne Dyer emphasizes the importance of self-respect and self-assertion in our interactions with others. It suggests that the way we allow others to treat us is often a direct result of the standards we establish through our own behavior and expectations. If we project confidence and assertiveness, we are more likely to receive respect and fairness in return.

If you're walking with your lady on the sidewalk, I still like to see a man walking street-side, to protect the lady from traffic. I grew up with that, and I hate to see something like that get lost.
