And as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, so honour peereth in the meanest habit Picture Quote #1

The honour of a maid is her name; and no legacy is so rich as honesty Picture Quote #1

To play someone I loved in my favourite fairytale as a kid is a total honour Picture Quote #1

Science is bound, by the everlasting vow of honour, to face fearlessly every problem which can be fairly presented to it Picture Quote #1

That hunger of the flesh, that longing for ease, that terror of incarceration, that insistence on tribal honour being obeyed: all of that exists, and it exists everywhere Picture Quote #1

It is forbidden to decry other sects; the true believer gives honour to whatever in them is worthy of honour Picture Quote #1

We speak of virtue, honour, reason; but our thought does not translate any one of these concepts into a substance Picture Quote #1

Kings were wont to honour philosophers, but if I had such I would honour them as angels that should have such piety in them that they would not seek where they are the second to be the first, and where the third to be the second and so forth Picture Quote #1

The knighthood I received was a fantastic honour but it’s not something I’ve ever used and I don’t think I ever will Picture Quote #1

And that’s my honour, that’s what my goal is, to always keep my mum’s name ringing, because I know what sacrifices she went through for me Picture Quote #1

Yet not for a single moment did I have any doubts about my own integrity and honour as a woman. I knew that my profession had been invented by men, and that men were in control of both our worlds, the one on earth, and the one in heaven. That men force women to sell their bodies at a price, and that the lowest paid body is that of a wife. All women are prostitutes of one kind or another Picture Quote #1

If one chooses sides on emotion then the rebel is the guy to go with. He is fighting for everything men claim to honour, freedom, independance, truth, the right..... all the subjective illusions. All the eternal trigger words. We are minions of the villan of the piece. We confess the illusion and deny the substance Picture Quote #1

To me there never has been a higher source of honour or distinction than that connected with advances in science. I have not possessed enough of the eagle in my character to make a direct flight to the loftiest altitudes in the social world; and I certainly never endeavored to reach those heights by using the creeping powers of the reptile, who in ascending, generally chooses the dirtiest path, because it is the easiest Picture Quote #1

I suspect it was... the old story of the implacable necessity of a man having honour within his own natural spirit. A man cannot live and temper his mettle without such honour. There is deep in him a sense of the heroic quest; and our modern way of life, with its emphasis on security, its distrust of the unknown and its elevation of abstract collective values has repressed the heroic impulse to a degree that may produce the most dangerous consequences Picture Quote #1

The patient man is merry indeed... The jailers that watch him are but his pages of honour, and his very dungeon but the lower side of the vault of heaven. He kisseth the wheel that must kill him; and thinks the stairs of the scaffold of his martyrdom but so many degrees of his ascent to glory. The tormentors are weary of him. the beholders have pitty on him, all men wonder at him; and while he seems below all men, below himself, he is above nature. He hath so overcome hlmself that nothing can conquer him Picture Quote #1

Being a winner is more than getting a first place trophy, it is acting like the effort was an honour and the trophy is just a decoration Picture Quote #1

If knowledge had no other merit than to make the ignorant fear and respect you, and scholars love and honour you, this would be good enough reason to seek after it. Let alone all its other merits in this world and the next Picture Quote #1

Weep now, but tomorrow be strong. Remember who we are and that whatever else is taken from us, they will never strip our honour and our pride Picture Quote #1
