Dignity is,—
The visible poise of self-dominion.
Calm heroism of character facing the inevitable.
Serenity, strength, and simplicity in a crisis.
Pride in the hour of abasement, and humility in time of
exaltation.
The soul's consciousness of rectitude radiated in noble
bearing.
The armor of self-respect.
Walking calmly and courageously through the valley of
humiliation.
Character rising superior to conditions or circumstances.
