The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honor is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don't resent them, you are not fit to live.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Honor is simply the morality of superior men.
Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.
The truth is, hardly any of us have ethical energy enough for more than one really inflexible point of honor.
Say not that honor is the child of boldness, nor believe thou that the hazard of life alone can pay the price of it: it is not to the action that it is due, but to the manner of performing it.
Well, if you pick a fight with somebody that's smaller than you and you beat them, where's the honor in that?
Without money honor is merely a disease.
There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels for someone, for someone, pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echos.
Honor is the reward of virtue.
Strength was the virtue of paganism; obedience is the virtue of Christianity.
Religion is not a burden, not a weight, it is wings.
