menoscabar nuestros propios principios
I think that 'menoscabar' and 'principios' are closer to the target meaning.

: Hola Ana: "Menoscabar" (o "socavar") tiene la connotación de "undermine" o "damage", más que "sell something short". Es una diferencia sutil, pero importante en este caso. Saludos!
