• Holiness is the strength of the soul. It comes by faith and through obedience to God's laws and ordinances. God then purifies the heart by faith, and the heart becomes purged from that which is profane and unworthy. When holiness is achieved by conforming to God's will, one knows intuitively that which is wrong and that which is right before the Lord. Holiness speaks when there is silence, encouraging that which is good or reproving that which is wrong.

  James E. Faust

• Tenía las mejillas sonrojadas. Agarró el brazo del Salvaje y lo apretó, flácido, contra su costado. Él la miró por un momento, pálido, dolorido, deseoso y avergonzado de su deseo. No era digno, no... Sus ojos se encontraron por un momento. ¡Qué tesoros prometían los de ella! El rescate de una reina de temperamento. Apresuradamente apartó la mirada, desenganchó su brazo aprisionado. Estaba oscuramente aterrorizado de que ella dejara de ser algo de lo que él se sintiera indigno.

  Aldous Huxley

• Yet I think the demon's target is not the possessed; it is us . . . the observers . . . every person in this house. And I think---I think the point is to make us despair; to reject our own humanity, Damien: to see ourselves as ultimately bestial; as ultimately vile and putrescent; without dignity; ugly; unworthy.

• War stirs in men's hearts the mud of their worst instincts. It puts a premium on violence, nourishes hatred, and gives free rein to cupidity. It crushes the weak, exalts the unworthy, and bolsters tyranny .. .Time and time again it has destroyed all ordered living, devastated hope, and put the prophets to death.

• Dogmatic religion has been used to fantastic effect over thousands of years to fuel and exploit emotions like fear and guilt, and the feeling of being 'unworthy'. This has encouraged people to hand over their right to think and feel to a Bible and a priest because they have not had the confidence or self-belief to realize that they have a right, and an infinite gift, to make their own decisions

• "I believe that no characteristic is so distinctively human as the sense of indebtedness we feel, not necessarily for a favor received, but even for the slightest evidence of kindness; and there is nothing so boorish, savage, inhuman as to appear to be overwhelmed by a favor, let alone unworthy of it."

• Es fácil restar importancia a la insistencia en el respeto escrupuloso de las salvaguardias de las libertades civiles cuando se invoca en nombre de los indignos. Es demasiado fácil. La historia da testimonio de que con tal desprecio se extinguen los derechos de libertad, sin cuidado al principio, luego sigilosamente y descaradamente al final.

• We prepare the ground for our prayer when we shed something which is not Christ's, which is unworthy of him, and only the prayer of one who can, like St. Paul say, 'I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me,' is real Christian prayer.

• What a delight it is to think that you are quietly & philosophically at work in the pursuit of science... rather than fighting amongst the crowd of black passions & motives that seem now a days to urge men every where into action. What incredible scenes every where, what unworthy motives ruled for the moment, under high sounding phrases and at the last what disgusting revolutions.

• I've always felt that homophobic attitudes and policies were unjust and unworthy of a free society and must be opposed by all Americans who believe in democracy. The civil rights movement thrives on unity and inclusion, not division and exclusion. My husband's struggle parallels that of the gay rights movement.

• Este depravado mundo burgués no se da cuenta de que esto es positivamente un pecado contra toda razón; que es una locura criminal seguir taladrando a un medio-simio de nacimiento hasta que la gente piense que han hecho de él un abogado, mientras millones de miembros de la más alta raza cultural deben permanecer en posiciones completamente indignas; que es un pecado contra la voluntad del Creador Eterno si se permite que sus seres más dotados, por cientos y cientos de miles, degeneren en el actual pantano proletario, mientras que los hotentotes y los kafires zulúes son entrenados para profesiones intelectuales.

• Y ésta es la última lección que nos ha enseñado nuestro conocimiento del modo de transmisión del tifus: El hombre lleva en su piel un parásito, el piojo. La civilización lo libra de él. Si el hombre retrocede, si se permite parecerse a una bestia primitiva, el piojo comienza a multiplicarse de nuevo y trata al hombre como se merece, como una bestia bruta. Esta conclusión habría agradado al cálido corazón de Alfred Nobel. Mi contribución a ella me hace sentir menos indigno del honor que me ha conferido en su nombre.

• De joven, me odiaba por no ser lo bastante bueno. Todas mis insuficiencias y fracasos, el no ser lo bastante amable, generoso o comprensivo, me asaltaban por la noche. Se convirtió en un hábito culparme y autocastigarme, no gustarme a mí misma porque era indigna... Me torturaba de verdad.

• Es realmente notable que la naturaleza de nuestro trato con nuestros semejantes determinará, en gran medida, nuestro estatus en el reino de los cielos..... Podemos atender a ritos y rituales y, sin embargo, pasar por alto los asuntos más importantes, como la bondad fraternal, la honestidad, la misericordia, la virtud y la integridad. No olvidemos nunca que, si los omitimos en nuestras vidas, podemos ser considerados indignos de llegar a Su presencia.

• We are so far from knowing all the forces of nature and their various modes of action that it would be unworthy of the philosopher to deny phenomena simply because they are inexplicable at the present state of our knowledge. The more difficult it is to acknowledge their existence, the greater the care with which we must study these phenomena.

• We cannot talk with [animals] as we can with human beings, yet we can communicate with them on mental and emotional levels. They should, however, be accorded equality in that they should receive both compassion and respect; it is unworthy of us to exploit them in any way.

• Unfortunately, most people do not stop to feel their tiredness. Faced with the pressures of life, they believe that it is a matter of survival to go on as they have been. Feeling tired raises a deep fear that they may not be able to continue the struggle. Many find it difficult to say, ‘I can’t.’ As children, they were taught that where there’s a will, there’s a way. To say, ‘I can’t,’ is to admit failure, which is seen as evidence that they are unworthy of love.
