“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 in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on 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
This quote is by far the best quote I have seen in this class. Karl G Maeser is such a remarkable man just by saying this quote. When a person gives their word to someone it means that they will do whatever they said they were going to do no matter what. An example of this can be when you tell your parents that you will pass your test that is coming up. When you give anyone your word, you must keep to it. So the example is that you will do anything to pass the test.
