"Honor is about being strong, and controling that strength for the benefit of others. It's about being worthy of being trusted. It's about having rules that mean that, even though you have the ability to hurt people, you choose not to hurt people, as much as you possibly can.

It's about letting what you say be true, and making sure that what you promise happens. It's about living up to your word. It's about protecting those in your care. It's about letting one's gentleness temper one's capacity for violence, and about only letting violence happen in the service of gentleness.

It's about believing that there's something more important than your own personal immediate comfort."
