Evil would always come to me disguised in systems and dignified by law.

The Lords of Discipline (1980)

Bad teachers do not touch me; the great ones never leave me.

The Lords of Discipline (1980)

I have never had to look up a definition of honor. I knew instinctively what it was. It is something I had the day I was born, and I never had to question where it came from or by what right it was mine. If I was stripped of my honor, I would choose death as certainly and unemotionally as I clean my shoes in the morning. Honor is the presence of God in man.
