Dignity

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.

- Dale Carnegie

In Victorian times, Magnolias symbolized dignity.

Poetry

It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.

-                     William Carlos Williams

Asphodel, That Greeny Flower
