Honor is a sense of pride in integrity and responsibility. It places great value on our commitments—and on the expectations that others have of us by virtue of our position and those commitments. Honor seeks excellence.
Honor means striving to live up to the demands of our social roles, whether we have chosen those role voluntarily or life has bestowed them unasked. It means we recognize whatever power has been given to us, and we seek to use it carefully and well.
