Honor

Famous quotes containing the word honor:

“Because there is very little honor left in American life, there is a certain built-in tendency to destroy masculinity in American men.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

“My ambition for station was always easily controlled. If the place came to me it was welcome. But it never seemed to me worth seeking at the cost of self-respect, or independence. My family were not historic; they were well-to-do, did not hold or seek office. It was easy for me to be contented in private life. An honor was no honor to me, if obtained by my own seeking.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“Well, honor is the subject of my story.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
