Life without dignity is like a sound that is not heard. Dignity speaks, it has its sound, it is natural and human. It is a combination of thought and feeling, and, ... it deserves respect even when the person is dead and described as a “ body ”
— Dipak Misra, C.J. in Common Cause vs Union of India, (2018) 5 SCC 1, para 156
The beauty of hands increases by giving charity and not by bangles. A body can be cleaned only by taking bath and not by applying sandalwood to it. One feels more content with respect or honour than food. Fashion does not bring you intelligence, knowledge does. Till one does not understand the truth in this, he will not get true solace in life
Which Beggar can claim Dignity? Which Person in a Bad company has been able to live in safety?
— Chanakya
The Value, or worth of a man, is as of all otther thinks his Price; that is to say, so much as would be given for the use of his Power: and therefore is not absolute; but a thing dependent on the need and judgement of another. An able conductor of Souldiers, is of great Price in time of War present, or imminent; but in Peace not so - Thomas Hobbes
