Honor

"Better to die ten thousand deaths, than to wound my honor."--Addison

"Honor is like an island, rugged and without shores: we can never re-enter once we're on the outside."--Boileau

Honor is a thing nearly lost in our society today. It's a thing of knights, chivalry, and days long since passed. I still believe that all you are is your honor. Your word, and your actions reflect what you are. As Boileau and Addison say, it is a grave thing to wound you honor, for once it's gone, you can never have it back.--Jesse Enlow

More quotes about honor:

"Let us do what honor demands"--Racine

"For titles do not reflect honor on men, but rather men on their titles."--Machiavelli

"Mine honor let me try. In that I live, and for that will I die."--Richard II, Act I; Sc. 1

And an example from more to date times:

"The nations honor is dearer than the nations comfort; yes than the nations life itself."--Woodrow Wilson
