"No Arab has superiority over a non-Arab, and no non-Arab has superiority over an Arab. No white person has superiority over a black person, and no black person has superiority over a white person. No man has superiority over a woman, and no woman has superiority over a man. The criteria for acceptance in the sight of God are righteousness and honest living."

Here are another set of good quote that give similar meanings :
The way to procure insults is to submit to them: a man meets with no more respect than he exacts
William Hazlitt ( 1778 - 1830)
If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you
Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821 - 1881)
