"I have been asked what I mean by 'Word of Honor'. I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is no possobility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never. I'd die first."
The statement above underlines the importance of the term 'Word or Honor' ,by conveying the idea of what it means to be honorous. To keep your word means to follow up on your responsibility and self- trust. People depend on your word so much that breaking or negleting your promise can damage and completely shatter the bond between two people; the one who gave their word of honor and the one who trusted in it. Words of honor are used all the time, i a relationship, military, between family memebers, at school and even your country.
