A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks.

Dignity is...

True dignity is never gained by place, and never lost when honors are withdrawn.

Philip Massinger

Poverty won't allow him to lift up his head; dignity won't allow him to bow it down.

Madagasy Proverb

Our dignity is not in what we do, but what we understand.

George Santayana

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

Booker T. Washington

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.

John Brown
