honor, n.All

Honor is like a rocky island without a landing place... once we leave it we can't get it back.

Honor is not in practices themselves but in whether some practice is followed honorably.

Honor is grounded in the idea that a man is not exceptional and honor is nothing other than something that a man must try not to lose... fame, by contrast is the idea that a man is exceptional, and it must be won.

Honor is a domain reserved only for the powerful. It is their art, their domain for invention.

Honor is external conscience, and conscience is inward honor.

Honor is a harder master than the law.

Honor is honor among pickpockets and honor among whores. It is simply that the standards differ.

Honor is like the eye, which cannot suffer the least injury without damage... it is [like] a precious stone, the price of which is lessened by the least flaw.
