A wise man has dignity without pride; a fool has pride without dignity.
I have not seen a person who loved virtue, or one who hated what was not virtuous. He who loved virtue would esteem nothing above it.
The gentleman is calm and at ease. The gentleman is dignified but not proud; the small man is proud but not dignified.
While the gentleman cherishes benign rule, the small man cherishes his native land. While the gentleman cherishes a respect for the law, the small man cherishes generous treatment.
