What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms . . . or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy. - George R. R. Martin
I don't believe in honors - it bothers me. Honors bother: honors is epaulettes; honors is uniforms. My papa brought me up this way.
The knighthood was a tremendous honor, I don't dismiss it. But I feel embarrassed by the flowery, theatrical stuff that goes with being an actor. - Anthony Hopkins
I try to live with honor, even if it costs me millions of dollars and takes a long time. It's very unusual in Hollywood. Few people are trustworthy - a handshake means nothing to them. They feel they're required to keep an agreement with you only if you're successful or they need you. - James Cameron
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life. - William Shakespeare
If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss; and if to live, the fewer men, the greater share of honor. - William Shakespeare
I have a lantern. You steal my lantern. What, then, is your honour worth no more to you than the price of my lantern? - Epictetus
It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably. - Immanuel Kant
It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them. - Mark Twain
The shortest and surest way to live with honour in the world, is to be in reality what we would appear to be; and if we observe, we shall find, that all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice of them. - Socrates
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
I believe with all my heart that America remains 'the great idea' that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here. - Arnold Schwarzenegger
I didn't leave bodybuilding until I felt that I had gone as far as I could go. It will be the same with my film career. When I feel the time is right, I will then consider public service. I feel that the highest honor comes from serving people and your country. - Arnold Schwarzenegger
