“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
WHAT THIS QUOTE IS SAYING IS THAT HE WOULD NEVER GIVE HIS WORD ABOUT SOMETHING AND DO THE OPPOSITE BECAUSE HIS WORD IS SOMETHING VERY POWERFUL AND HE WILL NEVER BREAK IT. GIVING SOMEONE YOUR WORD MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO DO AS PROMISED. IF YOU BREAK THAT THEN NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE TRUST IN YOU AGAIN BECAUSE YOU ALREADY LIED ABOUT SOMETHING AND ONCE A LIAR, ALWAYS A LIAR.
