About This Quote

If you allow your dignity to be assaulted, vandalized or cruelly mocked, it will never be returned to you. If you are ever rude, impolite or abusive with someone, you are taking away their dignity. You are not giving them anything they can use or put back on. Once you have taken away their dignity, they will never be able to recover it again.
