"He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young."	Joseph Addison
"He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young."	Joseph Addison
"It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered."	Æschylus
"Let us be very careful not to fall into the trap of the world. The world views things only relative to man and to self. The Word of God views things relative to the Father, Son, and Spirit. Mankind is not the center of all things. No matter how great anyone's name might become, it is still far behind His. Our name comes from His life; the name of our Lord comes from the resurrection--the event unique to Him. The world has a problem; it seeks to honor, uphold, exonerate and generally praise itself. Our place and the place of the entire world system is to praise and exalt God. When people of the Bible caught a glimpse of Him, their lives were changed. Perhaps our lives remain stagnate because we do not spend enough time looking at Him."	Roger Anderson
"To them that ask, where have you seen the gods, or how do you know for certain there are gods, that you are so devout in their worship? I answer: Neither have I ever seen my own soul, and yet I respect and honor it."	Marcus Aelius Aurelius
"I was eleven, then I was sixteen. Though no honors came my way, those were the lovely years."	Bernard Mannes Baruch
"We find greatest joy, not in getting, but in expressing what we are...Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not the taking and holding, but in doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself."	R. J. Baughan
"You cannot believe in honor until you have achieved it. Better keep yourself clean and bright: you are the window through which you must see the world."	Sir Walter Besant
"I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them; God hath no better praise, And man in his hasty days Is honored for them."	Robert Bridges
"There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience."	Jean de La Bruyère
"All honor's wounds are self-inflicted."	Andrew Carnegie
"It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever."	James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr.
"Never give in! Never give in! Never, never, never. Never -- in anything great or small, large or petty -- never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense."	Sir Winston Leonard Spenser Churchill
"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never -- in nothing, great or small, large or petty -- never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense."	Sir Winston Leonard Spenser Churchill
"Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character."	Henry Clay
"There is no calamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and injustice and the consequent loss of national self-respect and honor, beneath which are shielded and defended a people's safety and greatness."	Grover Cleveland
"The instinct of nearly all societies is to lock up anybody who is truly free. First, society begins by trying to beat you up. If this fails, they try to poison you. If this fails too, they finish by loading honors on your head."	Jean Cocteau
"Our own heart, and not other men's opinion, form our true honor."	Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."	(John) Calvin Coolidge
"A woman of honor should not expect of others things she would not do herself."	Marguerite de Valois
