"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 a possibility 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."
-Karl G. Maeser
The statement explains that no matter what the consequences may be or if you are dying one will never break your word of honor. No matter what it is that person will never break his word of honor, even if he kills them. This should be something that everyone should do. For example, if you give your word of honor to your group you will do your part, you should do it. Firstly because you said you would and since you did not do your part of your group you will get a lower grade. This applies not only to the school, but also to everyday life. Such as identification you make a promise to a friend or family member you should keep it.
