Honor

Famous quotes containing the word honor:

    ‘Tis on the living Envy feeds. She silent grows
    When, after death, man’s honor is his guard.
    So I, when on the pyre consumed I lie,
    Shall live, for all that’s noblest will survive.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    ... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    Wherever I look, I see signs of the commandment to honor one’s parents and nowhere of a commandment that calls for the respect of a child.
    Alice Miller (20th century)
