Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
Songs don’t dignify human activity. Human activity dignifies the song.
Any work of art dignifies life.
A cool blooded and crafty politician, when he would be thoroughly revenged on his enemy, makes the injuries which have been inflicted, not on himself, but on others, the pretext of his attack. He thus engages the world as a partisan in his quarrel, and dignifies his private hate, by giving it the air of disinterested resentment.
