#honor

...Regardless, I still do not believe that your duty is to do as the people wish. Your duty is to lead as best you can, following the dictates of your conscience. You must be true. Your Majesty, to the man you wish to become.... ↗

A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor. Yet soon or late in every man's life comes a day when it is not easy, a day when he must choose. (Maester Aemon) ↗

— George R.R. Martin

I have always found it an honor that people have wanted to buy my shirt and an honor that fans turn up to watch the team I am playing in. I have always found that a huge honor. ↗

الوظيفة في تاريخ مصر مؤسسة مقدسة كالمعبد، والموظف المصري أقدم موظف في تاريخ الحضارة. إن يكن المثل الأعلى في البلدان الأخرى محارباً أو سياسياً أو تاجراً أو رجل صناعة أو بحاراً فهو في مصر الموظف. وإن أول تعاليم أخلاقية حفظها التاريخ كانت وصايا من أب موظف متقاعد إلى ابن موظف ناشئ. وفرعون نفسه لم يكن إلا موظفاً معيناً من قبل الآلهة في السماء ليحكم الوادي من خلال طقوس دينية وتعاليم إدارية ومالية وتنظيمية. ووادينا وادي فلاحين طيبين يحنون الهامات نحو أرض طيبة ولكن رؤوسهم ترتفع لدى انتظامهم في سلك الوظائف، حينذاك يتطلعون إلى فوق، إلى سلم الدرجات المتصاعد حتى أعتاب الآلهة في السماء. الوظيفة خدمة للناس وحق للكفاءة وواجب للضمير الحي وكبرياء للذات البشرية وعبادة الله خالق الكفاءة والضمير والكبرياء. ↗

Shortly after you left the room, Bushell came over and spoke to your father. I was not near enough to hear what he said, but Maria Lucas told me afterwards that he had been -' (she smiled) 'amazingly impertinent.' 'Peter actually spoke to Papa?' 'He did. According to Maria, he had the impudence to criticise Mr Bennet for his treatment of you. I must say it gives me the most favourable idea of his character. ↗

How differently we behave in other peoples countries ... no sooner than we think we can get away with it, we do as we please. It doesn't require the breakdown of a social order. It takes a six-hour plane flight. ↗
