“Delicacy and dignity are taught by one's own heart, not by a dancing master.”

“originality and a feeling of one's own dignity are achieved only through work and struggle.”

“Whoever has experienced the power and the unrestrained ability to humiliate another human being automatically loses his own sensations. Tyranny is a habit, it has its own organic life, it develops finally into a disease. The habit can kill and coarsen the very best man or woman to the level of a beast. Blood and power intoxicate ... the return of the human dignity, repentance and regeneration becomes almost impossible.”

“Anyone who attacks individual charity, attacks human nature and casts contempt on personal dignity.”

“Whoever infringes upon individual 'charity' infringes upon man's nature and scorns his personal dignity”

“Equality lies only in human moral dignity. ... Let there be brothers first, then there will be brotherhood, and only then will there be a fair sharing of goods among brothers.”

“..., and if one has only one good memory left in one's heart, even that may sometimes be the means of saving us.”
