Quote by Publilius Syrus

He who has lost honor can lose nothing more.

He who has lost honor can lose nothing more.

Summary

This quote suggests that once someone has lost their honor, they have hit rock bottom and have nothing left to lose. Honor refers to one's integrity, reputation, or moral standing. Losing honor implies losing the respect and trust of others. Once that is gone, the individual is stripped of their dignity and any semblance of social standing. In a way, this quote offers a glimmer of hope by implying that there is nothing worse than losing one's honor, indicating that the person can only move onwards and upwards from there.
