Get the honor mug.A combination of self-respect and a good reputation based on the ability to tell The truth, defend those less fortunate or are weaker than you, and an instinctual knowledge of right and wrong. All of this culminating in the person who is completely trustworthy and above reproach. These things are not given to you and are not able to be taken away from you by anyone but yourself. To quote Rob Roy : honor is a gift a man gives himself and one should never worry about the obtaining of it.
