Honor


 'You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,' said Aslan. 'And that is both honor enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.'
  C.S. Lewis

 A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
  Napoleon Bonaparte

 Act well your part, there all the honour lies.

 All honor to him who shall win the prize,'The world has cried for a thousand years;But to him who tries and fails and dies,I give great honor and glory and tears.
  Joaquin Miller

 But an officer on duty knows no one -- to be partial is to dishonor both himself and the object of his illadvised favor. What will be thought of him who exacts of his friends that which disgraces him? Look at him who winks at and overlooks offences in one, which he causes to be punished in another, and contrast him with the inflexible soldier who does his duty faithfully, notwithstanding it occasionally wars with his private feelings. The conduct of one will be venerated and emulated, the other detested as a satire upon soldiership and honor.

 Honor and shame from no condition rise; act well your part, there all the honor lies

 Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost.
  Arthur Schopenhauer

 Honor is but an empty bubble.
  John Dryden

 Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.
  Herbert Hoover

 Honor is simply the morality of superior men.
  Henry Louis Mencken

 Honor is unstable and seldom the same; for she feeds upon opinion, and is as fickle as her food.

 Honor sinks where commerce long prevails.
  Oliver Goldsmith

 Honorable, adj.: Afflicted with an impediment in one's reach. In legislative bodies, it is customary to mention all members as honorable; as, "the honorable gentleman is a scurvy cur."
  Ambrose Bierce

 If honor be your clothing, the suit will last a lifetime; but if clothing be your honor, it will soon be worn threadbare

 Let us honor if we can the vertical man, though we value none but the horizontal one
  W. H. Auden
