- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American Statesman and Scientist
Honour, worthily obtained, is in its nature a personal thing, and incommunicable to any but those who had some share in obtaining it.
- Jack Lepa, a writer and bookdealer, describing the heroes of detective novels.
The hard-boiled hero is committed to the concept of doing the honorable thing, no matter what the consequences. He is unable to define the concept of honor, but he knows that there are things a man does and things he doesn't do.
- Mark Helprin () American Novelist and Writer
From long familiarity, we know what honor is. It is what enables the individual to do right in the face of complacency and cowardice. It is what enables the soldier to die alone, the political prisoner to resist, the singer to sing her song, hardly appreciated, on a side street.
