Our own heart, and not other men's opinions form our true honor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Be noble minded! Our own heart, and not other men's opinions of us, forms our true honor.
Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than by their understandings.
Fondly we think we honor merit then, When we but praise ourselves in other men.
When people do not respect us we are sharply offended; yet in his private heart no man much respects himself.
Respect for another man's opinion is worthy. It is the realization that any opinion is valuable, for it is the sign of a rational being.
It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles.
Within the hearts men, loyalty and consideration are esteemed greater than success.
Opinions have vested interests just as men have.
I suspect that with men like General Petraeus, where honor means something - losing your life is secondary to losing your honor.
Honor is simply the morality of superior men.
