Soldiers ought not be
asked to defend a Constitution indifferent to their essential human dignity.
William J. Brennan
Sick man lookin' for the
doctor's cure
Lookin' at his hands for the lines that were
And into every masterpiece of literature
for dignity
So many roads, so much
at stake
So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take
To find dignity
Bob Dylan

Thought makes the whole dignity of man; therefore, endeavor to think well,
that is the only morality.

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

Whose dust is both alike.
