Say the kind words you know you should say and show the respect you know you should show, and feelings of kindness and respect will follow.
What people say
There is no class that you ever started without an icebreaker to make/enhance rapport with your students. This is why you were famous among students. You explained elaboratively and used the board to organise your lesson points which made it easy to follow even for the weaker students. Your lessons always showed great preparation and in addition to being informative, they were fun.
