To respect your peers is respecting yourself.
1) To respect your peers is to respect yourself.
2) To respect your peers is respecting yourself.
3) Respecting your peers is respecting yourself.
Which one do you like best? (I prefer the second one somehow, but I sense this feeling might be wrong.)
Or how would you native speakers of English reword it?
Thanks for your comments in advance!
