Dignity Quotes (page 4)

As a woman you are better off in life earning your own money. You couldn't prevent your husband from leaving you or taking another wife, but you could have some of your dignity if you didn't have to beg him for financial support. Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Mahatma Gandhi quote: "To believe that what has not occurred in history will not..."
To believe that what has not occurred in history will not occur at all, is to argue disbelief in the dignity of man. Mahatma Gandhi
There was hardly a touch of earth in her love for Clare. To her sublime trustfulness he was all that goodness could be—knew all that a guide, philosopher, and friend should know. She thought every line in the contour of his person the perfection of masculine beauty, his soul the soul of a saint, his intellect that of a seer. The wisdom of her love for him, as love, sustained her dignity; she seemed to be wearing a crown. The compassion of his love for her, as she saw it, made her lift up her... Thomas Hardy
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "It was very exciting for her, taking his dignity away in the..."
It was very exciting for her, taking his dignity away in the name of love. Kurt Vonnegut
Well, I mean, yes idealism, yes the dignity of pure research, yes the pursuit of truth in all its forms, but there comes a point I'm afraid where you begin to suspect that the entire multidimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs. And if it comes to a choice between spending yet another ten million years finding that out, and on the other hand just taking the money and running, then I for one could do with the exercise. Douglas Adams
It was a life, she eventually concluded, that had been lived in the middle ground, where contentment and love were found in the smallest details of people's lives. It was a life of dignity and honor, not without sorrows yet fulfilling in a way that few experiences ever were. Nicholas Sparks
Michael J. Fox quote: "One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked,..."
One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered. Michael J. Fox
Oscar Wilde quote: "The rich would have spoken on the value of thrift and the idle..."
The rich would have spoken on the value of thrift and the idle grown eloquent over the dignity of labour. Oscar Wilde
James Clavell quote: "There is no dignity for either the sufferer or the torturer"
There is no dignity for either the sufferer or the torturer James Clavell
Tyranny is a habit; it may develop, and it does develop at last, into a disease. I maintain that the very best of men may be coarsened and hardened into a brute by habit. Blood and power intoxicate; coarseness and depravity are developed; the mind and the heart are tolerant of the most abnormal things, till at last they come to relish them. The man and the citizen is lost for ever in the tyrant, and the return to human dignity, to repentance and regeneration becomes almost impossible. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Our institutions are too big; they represent not the best but the worst characteristics of human beings. By submitting to huge hierarchies of power, we gain freedom from personal responsibility for what we do and are forced to do - the seduction of it - but we lose the dignity of being real men and women. Power corrupts; attracts the worst and corrupts the best. ... Refuse to participate in evil; insist on taking part in what is healthy, generous, and responsible. Stand up, speak out, and... Edward Abbey
What the trees can do handsomely-greening and flowering, fading and then the falling of leaves-human beings cannot do with dignity, let alone without pain. Martha Gellhorn
For the canons of good society are, or should be, the same as the canons of art. Form is absolutely essential to it. It should have the dignity of a ceremony, as well as its unreality, and should combine the insincere character of a romantic play with the wit and beauty that make such plays delightful to us. Oscar Wilde
There are people in this world who cut such a grotesque figure that even death renders them ridiculous. And the more horrible the death the more ridiculous they seem. It's no use trying to invest the end with a little dignity? you have to be a liar and a hypocrite to discover anything tragic in their going. Henry Miller
Theodore Roosevelt quote: "Politeness [is] a sign of dignity, not subservience."
Politeness [is] a sign of dignity, not subservience. Theodore Roosevelt
