No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

The real tragedy is that we're all human beings, and human beings have a sense of dignity. Any domination by one human over another leads to a loss of some part of his dignity. Is one's dignity that big it can be crumbled away like that?

What could be more essential in a pluralistic society like ours than that every citizen see dignity in every other human being everywhere?

The sign of our time is that the dignity of the human personality has no place: the age is, as are its laws, impersonal, its heart as of stone... . Yet on arrest, in the name of these laws, we die like dogs, neither executioner nor victim making a sound. Because he has to gasp for air all his life, panting for breath is the man of today's only way out.

What is dignity without honesty?

Let not a man guard his dignity, but let his dignity guard him.

The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.

Dignity is a matter which concerns only mankind.

A man can dignify his rank; no rank Can dignify a man.

Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
