They said it ……They said it ……

Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud : Sophocles

It is best to live with honor for just a day than with dishonor for many decades :

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than

silver or gold : Proverbs 22:1

Integrity is telling myself the truth and Honesty is telling the truth to other people :

Spencer Johnson

Who is an Honorable Person ? Who is an Honorable Person ?

• An honorable man is one who deserves honor. He deserves honor because of his character

• A man whose children look up to him as an example of a great father deserves honor

• A man whose wife can respect and love him for his integrity, honesty, and faithfulness deserves honor. A man whose family honesty, and faithfulness deserves honor. A man whose family and friends respect him for his decency and goodness deserves honor

• A man who holds the intent to live the best life he can, deserves honor

• A man who dedicates his life to making the world a better place, deserves honor

• Honorable men are those whose lives inspire us, enrich our world, and make the planet better by being here
