Honor is simply the morality of superior men.
The only principles of public conduct that are worthy of a gentleman or a man are to sacrifice estate, ease, health, and applause, and even life, to the sacred calls of his country.
A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others.
No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self-respect.
A man's vanity tells him what is honor, a man's conscience what is justice.
The law often allows what honor forbids.
Any person of honor chooses rather to lose his honor than to lose his conscience.
The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught.
The coming of honor or disgrace must be a reflection of one's inner power.
You cannot have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever a man's actions are, such must be his spirit.
