"I have been asked what i mean by 'Word of honor'. I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls- Walls of stone ever so high , ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that i some way or another i might be able to escape; but stand me in the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give 'My word of honor never to cross it. Can i get out of that circle? NO, never! I'd die first" - Karl G. Maeser The meaning of this statement is that you shouldn't break a promise. If you keep your word you shouldn't find a way to break what you promised. Once you break a promise you will most likely never be trusted again. There's no reason why you should break your promises if you can' t keep your word don't make any promises next time. An example of this is if you make a promise to show up, or make any promise of any kind don,t break it. Breaking the promise will get you a bad name and people will no longer trust you.
