I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honour more.

He has honor if he holds himself to an ideal of conduct though it is inconvenient, unprofitable, or dangerous to do so.

Integrity, like humility, is a quality which vanishes the moment we are conscious of it in ourselves. We see it only in others.

Hold it the greatest wrong to prefer life to honor and for the sake of life to lose the reason for living.

Men of integrity, by their very existence, rekindle the belief that as a people we can live above the level of moral squalor. We need that belief; a cynical community is a corrupt community.

How happy is he born and taught, That serveth not another's will; Whose armour is his honest thought, And simple truth his utmost skill.
