All authority is quite degrading. It degrades those who exercise it, and degrades those over whom it is exercised.
Oscar Wilde
He who remains with himself for a long time, degrades.
Antonio Porchia
Logically, humanity itself will also become a domesticate of this order as the world of production processes us as much as it degrades and deforms every other natural system.
John Zerzan
What will be left of the power of example if it is proved that capital punishment has another power, and a very real one, which degrades men to the point of shame, madness, and murder?
Albert Camus
Drunkards and sensualists have become heroes and saints; but sluggards have never risen to the significance and worth of human beings. Sloth enfeebles the root of life, and degrades more surely, if less swiftly, than the sins of passion.
John Lancaster Spalding
It is not suffering as such that is most deeply feared but suffering that degrades.
