James Shirley
If peace cannot be maintained with honour, it is no longer peace.
John Russell, 1st Earl Russell

Winston Churchill

Benjamin Disraeli
Yea, much more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body, are more necessary. And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour; and those that are our uncomely parts, have more abundant comeliness. But our comely parts have no need [...].
Paul

Simon Pegg
A republic cannot succeed, till it contains a certain body of men imbued with the principles of justice and honour.
Charles Darwin
I'm a man of honour, a truthful person, a gentleman of absolute morality.
Silvio Berlusconi
The crown and glory of life is Character. It is the noblest possession of a man, constituting a rank in itself, and an estate in the general goodwill; dignifying every station, and exalting every position in society. It exercises a greater power than wealth, and secures all the honour without the jealousies of fame. It carries with it an influence which always tells; for it is the result of proved honour, rectitude, and consistency - qualities which, perhaps more than any other, command the general confidence and respect of mankind.
Samuel Smiles
When I contemplate the natural dignity of man, when I feel (for Nature has not been kind enough to me to blunt my feelings) for the honour and happiness of its character, I become irritated at the attempt to govern mankind by force and fraud, as if they were all knaves and fools, and can scarcely avoid disgust at those who are thus imposed upon.
Thomas Paine
Consider your honour, as a gentleman, of more weight than an oath.
Solon
