Honor

Every calling is great when greatly pursued.

Dignity comes not from control, but from understanding who you are and taking your rightful place in the world.

One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.

Remember this-that there is a proper dignity and proportion to be observed in the performance of every act of life.

Be mild with the mild, shrewd with the crafty, confiding to the honest, rough to the ruffian, and a thunderbolt to the liar. But in all this, never be unmindful of your own dignity.

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

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

If you seek what is honorable, what is good, what is the truth of your life, all the other things you could not imagine come as a matter of course.

Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.

One should perform even an insignificant task with respect.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Men of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them.
