Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each quote and theme:

Quote 1: "It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn’t hurt you."

This quote implies that others' negative labels don’t impact you, aligning with the theme "Labeling others affects you, too" (since it shows the labeler’s pettiness, affecting their perception of you).

Quote 2: "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

This emphasizes understanding others’ perspectives, matching the theme "Sympathy for others is important" (sympathy involves empathizing with others’ experiences).

Quote 3: "The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience."

This highlights following one’s inner sense of right, aligning with the theme "Do what you think is right, not what popular opinion says is right" (conscience guides personal morality over public opinion).

Answer:

• Quote 1 → Labeling others affects you, too
• Quote 2 → Sympathy for others is important
• Quote 3 → Do what you think is right, not what popular opinion says is right
