Quotes of Honor And Dignity

Our own heart, and not other men's opinions, forms our true honor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to
look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not
deserve to die.
You should not honor men more than truth.
Plato
I will love you even when I am dust on the wind.
Nalini Singh, Archangel's Blade
We value virtue but do not discuss it. The honest bookkeeper, the faithful wife, the earnest scholar get little of our
attention compared to the embezzler, the tramp, the cheat.
John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are
called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby,
spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others
before themselves. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/honor.html
There is no dishonor in losing the race. There is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose.
Be strong. Live honorably and with dignity. When you don't think you can, hold on.
It is better to be alone than in bad company.
George Washington
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to
succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.
Abraham Lincoln
Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us,
on occasion, to greatness.
R.J. Palacio, Wonder
Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.
An honor is not diminished for being shared.

Quotes of Honor And Dignity

Should even the world stand against her, my blade will be at her side. And should it fail to protect her, let my own
existence be forfeit. This I swear, on my honor, my True Name, and my life. From this day on..." His voice went even
softer, but I still heard it as though he whispered it into my ear. "I am yours.
The law of honor: Go along only on the paths of honor. Fight, and never be a coward. Leave the path of infamy to
others. Better to fall in an honorable fight than win by infamy.
Corneliu Zelea Codreanu
Be not ashamed of thy virtues; honor's a good brooch to wear in a man's hat at all times.
Ben Johnson
Honor is like an island, rugged and without shores; once we have left it, we can never return.
Nicolas Boileau
Better to die ten thousand deaths, Than wound my honour.
Joseph Addison
Don't look for more honor than your learning merits.
Jewish Proverb
We all know that any emotional bias -- irrespective of truth or falsity -- can be implanted by suggestion in the
emotions of the young, hence the inherited traditions of an orthodox community are absolutely without evidential
value.... If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but
would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical
consequences. With such an honest and inflexible openness to evidence, they could not fail to receive any real
truth which might be manifesting itself around them. The fact that religionists do not follow this honourable
course, but cheat at their game by invoking juvenile quasi-hypnosis, is enough to destroy their pretensions in my
eyes even if their absurdity were not manifest in every other direction.
H.P. Lovecraft, Against Religion: The Atheist Writings of H.P. Lovecraft
The post of honour is a private station.
Joseph Addison
Titles of honor are like the impressions on coins, which add no value to gold or silver, but only render brass current
Laurence Sterne
Neither I nor anyone else knows what a standard is. We all recognize a dishonorable act, but have no idea what
honor is.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Quotes of Honor And Dignity

The sense of honour is of so fine and delicate a nature, that it is only to be met with in minds which are naturally
noble, or in such as have been cultivated by good examples, or a refined education.
Joseph Addison
Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And outlive the bastards.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Marriage: love, honor, and negotiate.
Joe Moore
It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.
Mark Twain
Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
Sophocles
Honor is but an empty bubble.
John Dryden
Honor is not the exclusive property of any political party.
Herbert Hoover
Honor is unstable and seldom the same; for she feeds upon opinion, and is as fickle as her food.
Charles Caleb Colton
Honor is but an itch in youthful blood of doing acts extravagantly good
Samuel Howard
Let us honor if we can the vertical man, though we value none but the horizontal one
W. H. Auden
The sentiment of national honor is never more than half extinguished in the French. It takes only a spark to re-
kindle it.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The right honorable gentleman is the first of the new party who has retired into his political cave of Adullam and he
has called about him everyone that was in distress and everyone that was discontented.
John Bright
Quotes of Honor And Dignity

Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Yes, it is a truth that for a good man, honored, beloved, useful, with all around him that God ever gives to His
children here; nay, with all that God could give him of earth, it would be " gain " to die. Heaven is a better, a
happier, a more desirable world than this is or can be.
The seriousness of throwing over hell whilst still clinging to the Atonement is obvious. If there is no punishment for
sin there can be no self-forgiveness for it. If Christ paid our score, and if there is no hell and therefore no chance of
our getting into trouble by forgetting the obligation, then we can be as wicked as we like with impunity inside the
secular law, even from self-reproach, which becomes mere ingratitude to the Savior. On the other hand, if Christ
did not pay our score, it still stands against us; and such debts make us extremely uncomfortable. The drive of
evolution, which we call conscience and honor, seizes on such slips, and shames us to the dust for being so low in
the scale as to be capable of them. The 'saved' thief experiences an ecstatic happiness which can never come to the
honest atheist: he is tempted to steal again to repeat the glorious sensation. But if the atheist steals he has no such
happiness. He is a thief and knows that he is a thief. Nothing can rub that off him. He may try to sooth his shame by
some sort of restitution or equivalent act of benevolence; but that does not alter the fact that he did steal; and his
conscience will not be easy until he has conquered his will to steal and changed himself into an honest man...
Now though the state of the believers in the atonement may thus be the happier, it is most certainly not more
desirable from the point of view of the community. The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to
the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and
dangerous quality of happiness, and by no means a necessity of life. Whether Socrates got as much happiness out
of life as Wesley is an unanswerable question; but a nation of Socrateses would be much safer and happier than a
nation of Wesleys; and its individuals would be higher in the evolutionary scale. At all events it is in the Socratic
man and not in the Wesleyan that our hope lies now.
Consequently, even if it were mentally possible for all of us to believe in the Atonement, we should have to cry off
it, as we evidently have a right to do. Every man to whom salvation is offered has an inalienable natural right to say
'No, thank you: I prefer to retain my full moral responsibility: it is not good for me to be able to load a scapegoat
with my sins: I should be less careful how I committed them if I knew they would cost me nothing.'
George Bernard Shaw, Androcles and the Lion
Honor isn't about making the right choices. It's about dealing with the consequences.
Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
Nobody can acquire honor by doing what is wrong
