	Elvis's Reflections on Respect Elvis Presley "Everyone has their place, their importance to the whole of life, be they dignitaries or working class. One's position in life does not make one's value as a human being go up or down, that I believe. So no matter who it is wanting to see me, if they care that much, to try, to wait or whatever, for me, then the least I can to is be hospitable, obliging. After all, my time is no more valuable than theirs. You have to consider where they're coming from. They want to meet me, shake my hand. some of 'em want more, you know, in the excitement of the moment, they lose it; but over all, people are great. I'm flattered they care about me, so I try to return the favor, that's all really." Source: Elvis ~ A Lighted Candle
