And your code of honor determines your character. And your character is who you are. Behind closed doors. When nobody is watching.
Patti LaBelleThe true Indian sets no price upon either his property or his labor. His generosity is limited only by his strength and ability.

Each soul must meet the morning sun, the new sweet earth, and the Great Silence alone!. What is Silence? It is the Great Mystery! The Holy Silence is His voice!

Kent NerburnWhen you want to direct someone toward the good, first put him at peace bodily and honor him with words of love. For nothing inclines such a man to shame and induces him to cast of his vice and be changed for the better as do bodily goods and honor, which he sees in you. Then, with love tell him a word or two, and do not be inflamed with anger toward him. Do not let him see any cause of enmity toward you. For love does not know how to lose its temper.

Someone who would put his own needs above his woman's is no man.
Maya BanksI guess you could say Alexander the Great was a man who completely transported me and moved me and inspired me because of his idealism, and I'd go back to the Greeks, and I always liked Homer and all the philosophers and their way of thinking and their concept of honor.

Elaine S. DaltonThe angels and the archangels will help you with world peace to the degree it affects you. But they have to honor everyone's free will - including the will of people who like to use weapons or to give orders to soldiers. They cannot usurp such people's free will.

The part of the world with the intersecting circle that has you in it is what the angels can and will help with.
