Honour, How much we fight with weakness to preserve thee!

Would that the simple maxim, that honesty is the best policy, might be laid to heart; that a sense of the true aim of life might elevate the tone of politics and trade till public and private honor became identical.

Men of integrity, by their very existence, rekindle the belief that as a people we can live above the level of moral squalor. We need that belief; a cynical community is a corrupt community.

Hold it the greatest wrong to prefer life to honor and for the sake of life to lose the reason for living.

To be individually righteous is the first of all duties, come what may to ones self, to one's country, to society, and to civilization itself.

Integrity, like humility, is a quality which vanishes the moment we are conscious of it in ourselves. We see it only in others.

He has honor if he holds himself to an ideal of conduct though it is inconvenient, unprofitable, or dangerous to do so.

I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honour more.

You cannot throw words like heroism and sacrifice and nobility and honor away without abandoning the qualities they express.
