Quote by Lois McMaster Bujold
Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the distinction between reputation and honor. Reputation refers to the opinions and perceptions of others concerning us, while honor relates to our own inner assessment of our actions and character. It implies that reputation can be influenced by external factors, such as gossip or the subjective views of others, whereas honor is a much more personal and self-reflective concept. While reputation may hold significance in society, honor is more about self-respect and knowing that one's actions align with their moral values and principles.
