Fondly we think we honor merit then, When we but praise ourselves in other men.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A man of merit owes himself to the homage of the rest of mankind who recognize his worth.
Honor is the reward of virtue.
Honor is simply the morality of superior men.
Our own heart, and not other men's opinions form our true honor.
We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.
We think of ourselves as our titles or our jobs or our position in a family. We depend on being praised by others. But something happens when that praise is undermined.
I am a believer in people succeeding on merit.
We do not praise others, ordinarily, but in order to be praised ourselves.
It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles.
Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.
