DIGNITY

Dignity comes not from control, but from understanding who you are and taking your rightful place in any circumstance.                                                                                   Unless there is honesty, there is no dignity.                                                                      Never be mindful of your dignity.                                                                                          Self respect is the fruit of discipline, the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself. Rabbi Abraham Heschel                                                                                        Let not a man guard hir dignity, but let his dignity guard him. Ralph Waldo Emerson.       One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered. Michael J. Fox                                                                  Dignity does not consist in possessing honours, but in the consciousness that we deserve them. Aristotle                                                                                                                          It is not wealth one ask for, but just enough to preserve one’s dignity to work unhampered to be generous, frank and independent. Somerest Manghan.                                             Strength and honour are her clothing, she shall rejoice in time to come. Proverbs 31 : 25  A man’s pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honour.                      Proverbs 29 : 23                                                                                                              Honour the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase.    Proverbs 3 : 9
