“I have been asked what i meant 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 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
Reflection: I believe that this means that a word of honor has to be the one of the most loyal ways to be certain of your word. So if you use a word of honor, you'll have to keep what you said or do what you said. And if you were ever put in trial and you'll have to use a word of honor, it most definitely has to be the truth no matter what you're consequences are. And if you ever broke your word than you will lose the trust anybody will ever have of you again. Word of honor means a promise or a stateing word that means you'll be humble and will not break your word.
