πῶς δύνασθε ὑμεῖς πιστεῦσαι, δόξαν παρὰ ἀλλήλων λαμβάνοντες, καὶ τὴν δ — Honor

"You are not running for reelection here. Be tough when necessary, impartial always. Guard your honor."

"Now, while the honour thou hast got Is spick and span new."

"Titles of honour add not to his worth, Who is himself an honour to his titles."

"As quick as lightning, in the breach Just in the place where honours lodged, As wise philosophers have judged, Because a kick in that place more Hurts Honour than deep wounds before."

"Of all the resources of government, none are so wastefully employed as its powers of conferring honour. This is true of nearly all countries. In Great Britain the waste is not occasioned by profusion, but by caprice, uncertainty, irrelevance. The king (it was in George III.s time) is asked to give a right of going through the park to some gentleman. "No, no," replies the king, "I cannot do that; but you may make him an Irish baron." The above is not an unfavourable specimen of the way in which honours have been granted."

"Better to die ten thousand deaths, Than wound my honour."
