Yusuf IdrisAllegiance to Jesus and loving the truth are primary truths (2Thessalonians 2 v10).

A false application of tolerance is foundational in the movements that lead to the harlot religion.

Henry GirouxWhat we also need to have a discussion on the philosophy of art: so we must ask what is it that we want in the first place? Is it just about saying and doing whatever you want, or is it about something more? We should let the artist be free, but we must also question how exactly he deals with freedom. Is it arts for elevation or arts for destruction? Is there dignity in the process?

Dalai LamaSee, I donโt expect to win a prize for stoic control and dignity at mourning time. Death deserve tantrums.

Only then can music, dance, movies, plays, rap be about life. Only then can life be cherished and adored.

Ban Ki-moonIn an ironic sense, Karl Marx was right. We are witnessing today a great revolutionary crisis, a crisis where the demands of the economic order are conflicting directly with those of the political order. But the crisis is happening not in the . . . West, but in the home of Marxism-Leninism, the Soviet Union. It is the Soviet Union that runs against the tide of history by denying human freedom and human dignity to its citizens.

Marcus AureliusThere were many words that you could not stand to hear and finally only the names of places had dignity. Certain numbers were the same way and certain dates and these with the names of the places were all you could say and have them mean anything.

Carly FiorinaMany of the most successful men I have known have never grown up. They have retained bubbling-over boyishness. They have relished wit, they have indulged in humor.

Resist growing up!

Audrey Hepburnthe meeting between ignorance and knowledge, between brutality and culture - it begins in the dignity with which we treat the dead
Frank HerbertIf a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing.
