I'm sorry, but fear is far from proper respect in the long run, especially when you have no base, no allies, and no resources of which to use should a large or powerful portion of existence decide to hunt you down. And past experiences don't qualify as fact out here, so I would be careful.

Fear and respect are one in the same.
