Christopher Marlowe

Virtue is the fount whence honor springs.

Since childhood at my mother’s knee, I have believed in honor, ethics and right living as its own reward. I find a very small minority who agree with me on that premise.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Honor is venerable to us because it is no ephemeris. It is always ancient virtue. We worship it today because it is not of today.
