Famous quotes containing the word honor:

    His distinguishing mark is the fact that he always attacks his opponents, not only with all arms, but also with snorts and objurgations—that he is always filled with moral indignation—that he is incapable of imagining honor in an antagonist, and hence incapable of honor himself.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Days of plenty and years of peace;
    March of a strong land’s swift increase;
    Equal justice, right and law,
    Stately honor and reverend awe;
    Henry Holcomb Bennett (1863–1924)

    Use every man after his desert, and who should scape whipping?
    Use them after your own honor and dignity—the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
