Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
We have, all of us, our duties. Every action of our lives, and every word that we utter, will either conduce to or detract from the discharge of our duty.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
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.
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.
It was my care to make my life illustrious not by words more than by deeds.
Whatever ought to be, can be.
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.
The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
