The dignity of his office is never impaired by the absence of efforts on his part to maintain it.

Summary

This quote suggests that the inherent dignity of a person's office or position is not diminished simply because they do not actively make efforts to uphold it. It implies that the prestige and honor associated with a role arise from its inherent nature and not solely from the actions or behaviors of the person holding that role. Thus, even if someone does not actively try to preserve their office's dignity, the inherent respect and esteem associated with it remain intact.
