“Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.”
Bible
“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.”
“A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? / Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.”
“My honour was not yielded, but conquered merely.”
Cleopatra
“Honour is like an island, rugged and without shores; we can never re-enter it once we are on the outside.”
Nicholas Boileau
