Quote by George Bernard Shaw

You cannot believe in honor until you have achieved it, better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world

You cannot believe in honor until you have achieved it, bett

Summary

This quote suggests that to truly understand and embrace the concept of honor, one must first exemplify it in their actions and behavior. The phrase "achieved it" implies that honor is a personal accomplishment that can only be attained through living a virtuous and upright life. The statement also emphasizes the importance of maintaining one's own integrity and authenticity, symbolized by being a "clean and bright" window. In other words, one's own character and values shape the lens through which they perceive and engage with the outside world.

I'm trying to figure myself out through my movies. Whether it's big stuff like what we're doing here, or little stuff like, 'Why aren't I happier?'

What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of a gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution.

He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it.

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father, a good teammate, a good role model? There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?
