English translations of the aphorisms of Nicolás Gómez Dávila
The original Spanish is:El progresista asustado no tiene compasión ni mesura.
The Spanish word translated here as "dignity" is mesura, which comes from the Latin word for "measure." In Spanish, though, it means "moderation" or "restraint" and, by extension, civility and dignity in one's dealings with others.
