Honor Quotes

“Since we’re mortal, solving human problems continues to demand the human touch. Even when higher vibrational insights can become part of a solution, they won’t substitute for saying and doing things in objective reality. Sadly, many of us have been promised the opposite. We have been told, one way or another, that energies are superior to humble human effort.”
― Rose Rosetree, The New Strong: Stop Fixing Yourself—And Actually Accelerate Your Personal Growth!

“I repeat, crime is too common a refuge for such untalented, impatient and greedy nonentities”

“Who or what are you sacrificing in order to achieve success?

Can you conduct your business without lying, hiding or harming others?”
― Loren Weisman

“These ways of looking at events were clearly part of common belief, but Homer exploits them for literary effect; both ineluctable fate and unpredictable divine intervention reinforce the sense of man as a plaything at the mercy of mightier powers. But the conclusion drawn from this is far from a negative or passive one; we must win honour within the limits set for us by our existence within a cosmos which is basically well-ordered, however hard that order may be to discern. When Odysseus is reduced to beggary, he does not lower his moral standards; when Akhilleus faces the inevitability of death, he is still determined to die gloriously. Homer adapts for his own poetic and moral ends ways of thinking which are potentially contradictory, refining the myths and world-view of his tradition. All his art is mobilized to stress the need for intelligence, courage and moral responsibility in the face of a dangerous universe, wherein mankind has an insignificant and yet paramount role. It is this attitude which makes the Homeric poems so sublimely and archetypally humane.”
― Geoffrey S. Kirk, The Iliad: A Commentary, Volume 4: Books 13-16

“I tried to wear my solitude less like a burden than like a badge of honor.”
― Stephanie Cacioppo, Wired for Love: A Neuroscientist's Journey Through Romance, Loss, and the Essence of Human Connection

“Stripped to its essence the creed of heroism is that the fame of great deeds defeats death. Loss of life is compensated by honour received and fame to come.”
― Geoffrey S. Kirk, The Iliad: A Commentary, Volume 3: Books 9-12

“Like the dying Roland Akhilleus has his vision (and ours) widened as he makes peace with his soul. At first Roland cannot bear the thought that his sword will fall into another's hands - as in the Iliad the loss of weapons is the ultimate disgrace. Then he reflects that he holds the sword not for his own glory but for that of Charlemagne, finally that the sword, whose pommel contains holy relics, is a symbol of his faith. So Roland dies not cursing his conquerors in heroic style but as a Christian confessing his sins to God. That is the sort of vision an epic poet should have. With Priam kneeling before him Akhilleus too realizes that heroism is not enough. The conclusion of his dictum [A man dies still if he has done nothing, as one who has done much] (9-320) is not that he should do more killing but that he should recognize that all men suffer the same troubles and the same end - that is, that he should shed tears for the nature of things. Accordingly he bows to the will of Zeus, who offers him a new honour (24.110) which victors and defeated can both share.”
― Geoffrey S. Kirk, The Iliad: A Commentary, Volume 3: Books 9-12

“And he dreaded prison more than anything, not because survival in the gourbis was any
better, but because nothing would be more humiliating than being labeled a criminal. He had inherited a sense of honour that gave him – he, the poorest of the poor – the pride of a blind man and the humility of a prince.”
― Sima Samar, Outspoken: My Fight for Freedom and Human Rights in Afghanistan

“Listen and remember this well. There are two kinds of battles. Each time we fight, we must know whether it's a battle to protect life or a battle to defend honor.”
― Tite Kubo, Bleach, Volume 16

“Rituals slow time; the names we give acts and the beliefs that undergird those acts contribute to a sense of order. Accepting an order produced by a power holder— internalizing its assumptions about duty, honor, and justice— delivers a stable form of obedience. Power is thus most effective when it is invisible.”
― Matthew Meyer, Mad Max and Philosophy: Thinking Through the Wasteland
