Honor is the only really good disguise for an occasional act of dishonor.
TAD WILLIAMS, Otherland: City of Golden Shadow
The nearest way to Honour is for a man so to live that he may be found to be that in truth he would be thought to be.
WELLINS CALCOTT, Thoughts Moral and Divine
Virtue is in our power, though praise be not: we may deserve honour, though we cannot command it.
BENJAMIN WHICHCOTE, Moral and Religious Aphorisms
Dishonor is like a gash on a tree trunk -- instead of disappearing with age, it enlarges.
BRIAN HERBERT & KEVIN J. ANDERSON, Dune: House Harkonnen
Honour is unstable and seldom the same; for she feeds upon opinion, and is as fickle as her food.
