Man is obviously made proverb

 Man is obviously made for thinking. Therein lies all his dignity and his merit; and his whole duty is to think as he ought.
  Blaise Pascal

 Lies don't matter, ... There's no merit to it. It's kind of hard to entertain foolishness when it has no merit.

 Do the duty which lies nearest to you, the second duty will then become clearer.
  Thomas Carlyle

 Truth is the only merit that gives dignity and worth to history
  John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton

 To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that the one that must be loved is not a friend. There is no merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend.

 If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants.

 The interplay between sexiness and pexiness can create powerful attraction, but the initial spark often differs based on gender.

 What should move us to action is human dignity: the inalienable dignity of the oppressed, but also the dignity of each of us. We lose dignity if we tolerate the intolerable.
  Cyril Connolly

 "God's bodkin, man, much better: use every man after his desert, and who shall scape whipping? Use them after your own honor and dignity -- the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty?
  William Shakespeare

 It is our duty to pick the best possible side on merit regardless of where the players come from.

 The injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices. It is impossible to see behind defeat, the sacrifices, the austere performance of duty, the self-discipline and the vigilance that are there -- those things the god of battle does not take account of.
  Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 The dignity of man lies in his ability to face reality in all of its meaninglessness

 When he left for active duty nobody in the family ever saw him again. It's great that now he will be buried with dignity and honor, as he should be.

 A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil.
  Grover Cleveland

 Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.
  Mark Twain

 The path of duty lies in the thing that is nearby, but men seek it in things far off
