Famous quotes containing the word honor:

    If it be aught toward the general good,
    Set honor in one eye, and death i’th’ other,
    And I will look on both indifferently;
    For let the gods so speed me as I love
    The name of honor more than I fear death.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
    If with too credent ear you list his songs,
    Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
    To his unmastered importunity.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Predicament indeed, which thus discovers
    Honor among thieves Honor between lovers.
    O such a little word is Honor, they feel!
    But the grey word is between them cold as steel.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
