(a) The real dignity of man lies not in what he has but in what he is.
Answer: A man’s dignity is not based on wealth or power but on his character. A rich man without values is not respected, while a poor man with honesty and kindness is admired. Good behavior, truthfulness, and moral values make a person great. Therefore, true dignity lies in one’s character, not in material possessions.

(b) The crown and glory of life is character.
Answer: Character is the most important thing in life. It gives respect and honor to a person. Without character, success has no value. A person with strong character is always trusted and respected by others. Good habits, honesty, and discipline build strong character. Thus, character is the real glory of life.
