- Mary Ann Shaffer99◆ If I follow the inclination of my nature, it is this: beggar-woman and single, far rather than queen and married.
- Elizabeth I Tudor99◆ Staying silent is like a slow growing cancer to the soul and a trait of a true coward. There is nothing intelligent about not standing up for yourself. You may not win every battle. However, everyone will at least know what you stood for—YOU.
- Shannon L. Alder99◆ To hide feelings when you are near crying is the secret of dignity.
- Dejan Stojanovic99◆ Politeness [is] a sign of dignity, not subservience.
- Theodore Roosevelt99◆ Often romantic relationships fail because you are trying to get someone to fall in love with the YOU that you never discovered.
- Shannon L. Alder99◆ Each of us, face to face with other men, is clothed with some sort of dignity, but we know only too well all the unspeakable things that go on in the heart.
- Luigi Pirandello99◆ Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man.
- Aung San Suu Kyi99◆ When, however, one reads of a witch being ducked, of a woman possessed by devils, of a wise woman selling herbs, or even of a very remarkable man who had a mother, then I think we are on the track of a lost novelist, a suppressed poet, of some mute and inglorious Jane Austen, some Emily Bronte who dashed her brains out on the moor or mopped and mowed about the highways crazed with the torture that her gift had put her to. Indeed, I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
- Virginia Woolf99◆ Dignity is as essential to human life as water, food, and oxygen. The stubborn retention of it, even in the face of extreme physical hardship, can hold a man's soul in his body long past the point at which the body should have surrendered it.
- Laura Hillenbrand99◆ It's hard as hell to hold on to your dignity when the risen sun is too bright in your losing eyes, and that's what I was thinking about as we hunted for bad guys through the ruins of a city that didn't exist.
- John Green99◆ I will remember this, thought Ender, when I am defeated. To keep dignity, and give honor where it's due, so that defeat is not disgrace. And I hope I don't have to do it often.
- Orson Scott Card99◆ People have the right to call themselves whatever they like. That doesn't bother me. It's other people doing the calling that bothers me.
- Octavia E. Butler99◆ Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves.
- Dave Eggers99◆ To believe that what has not occurred in history will not occur at all, is to argue disbelief in the dignity of man.
- Mahatma Gandhi99
