"To take refuge with an inferior is to betray one's self"

This quote by Peter Nivio Zarlenga speaks to the concept of dignity and individual honesty. It recommends that when we rely on somebody or something that is of lower worth or top quality than ourselves, we are betraying our very own feeling of worth. It suggests that we should not choose anything much less than what we deserve, and that we should not jeopardize our own values or beliefs in order to gain approval or approval from others. This quote encourages us to remain true to ourselves and also to not choose anything much less than what we know we are worth. It is a tip that we must not permit ourselves to be taken advantage of or to be considered granted. We should strive to maintain our own feeling of dignity and to not enable ourselves to be capitalized on by those who are of minimal value or high quality than ourselves.
