该句使用了抽象名词短语作介词宾语，通过never flattering or bending the knee这一平行结构强调了保持尊严的具体行为。
Self-esteem stems from the dignity of never flattering or bending the knee. As the saying goes: "Poverty should be like tea, with a thread of fragrance in the bitterness; Pride should be like orchids, with autumn frost hanging high on their faces." Self-esteem is originally unrelated to background or wealth, indifferent to appearance or position; it is sacred and inviolable. Society is reciprocal; only by respecting others first can we earn their respect.
Beautiful things always happen when you expect them to. What you desire may not arrive in the shape or form you imagine, but your request will surely be answered. All you need to do is look forward to its arrival and firmly hold onto your desire. You hold such great power in your hands, why not use it?
When others possess what you desire, it shows that what you want is not a distant dream. Keep pace and learn from those who are ahead. Their success is your best guide, not a stumbling block.
Changing for the sake of others is deceiving yourself.
Beautiful makeup is nothing but a lethal blade.
自尊，源于绝不趋炎附势、卑躬屈膝的气概。正如那句话所说：“穷，要穷得像茶，苦中一缕清香；傲，要傲得像兰，高挂一脸秋霜。”自尊本来就不论出身、无关贫富，不论体貌、无关职位，它是神圣不可侵犯的。社会是相互的，我们首先尊重别人，才会赢得别人的尊重。
美好的事情总发生在你期待它发生的时候。你所要的东西可能不会以你预想的形状和形式来临，但是你的要求一定会得到回应。你所要做的，只是期盼它降临，并且坚定你想要的念头。你手中有这么大的力量，为什么不用呢？
当别人拥有你所渴望的事物时，可见你所想要的并非遥不可及的梦想。此时应跟上脚步，以先进者为师。别人的成功是你最佳的指引，而不是绊脚石。
为了别人而改变，就是欺骗自己。
美艳红妆，尽是杀人利刃。
