"We live in turbulent times. Nothing is the same as it was. Yet there are things that human beings always value. Dignity and its twin, humility—we see less and less in human beings. Our leaders and heroes look for power in force, novelty, ostentatiousness, and vulgarity. Where are the leaders and heroes whose strength is dignity and humility? Dignity—the respect and honor one is due because of one’s innate worth. Humility—a life state that acknowledges the reality of what is."
From my "The Garden: Perennial Reflections on Beginnings and Ends" Chapter 41 Dignity, Humility, Work
