Honor Quotes

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the "embassy" quote about honor saying?
It's an older character sketch: "A discontented young fellow, filled with self pride" who nonetheless "should have considered it an honor to be sent on so respectable an embassy as he was."
Is there a quote defining honor as a form of virtue?
Yes: "To be ambitious of true honor, of the true glory and perfection of our natures, is the very principle and incentive of virtue" — treating the pursuit of honor as tied directly to living virtuously.
What does "a man's vanity tells him what is honor" mean?
It draws a contrast between two internal guides: "A man's vanity tells him what is honor, a man's conscience what is justice" — suggesting honor and justice can come from very different places within a person.
Is there a quote critical of how commerce affects honor?
Yes — a short, pointed one: "Honor sinks where commerce long prevails," offered as the speaker's own view on how prolonged commercial interest can erode a sense of honor.
Where can I find more quotes about virtue or national pride tied to honor?
Country quotes and Great quotes both touch on themes close to honor, while Being quotes covers character and identity more broadly.

Others warn that honor can quietly erode once commerce or self-interest take priority over principle. See Able or Being quotes for more on character and integrity.
