Honor Quotes

“He that boasts of his ancestors confesses that he has no virtue of his own.

“There must be love, and understanding, to betray. Most men haven't the wit or the honor for betrayal: not to know it when they see it; not the stomach to apprehend it as they do it. Most men, blind and dumb in their self-centeredness, don't betray: they merely disappoint.”
