“I can teach you how to respect but self-respect is self taught.”

Meaning

This reads as a contrast between outside instruction and inward practice. Respect can be shown by example, but self-respect points to a private discipline, something each person has to build for themselves. It lands when someone is waiting for approval from others and needs to see that dignity cannot be handed over from the outside.
