Quote

Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost.

He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all.

Any person of honor chooses rather to lose his honor than to lose his conscience.

There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.

He that loseth his honesty hath nothing else to lose.

Having nothing, nothing can he lose.

No man can lose what he never had.

The tragedy of life is not that man loses but that he almost wins.

All is lost save honor.

Honor means that a man is not exceptional; fame, that he is. Fame is something which must be won; honor, only something which must not be lost.
