"What of honor?" I asked. "An inconvenience," he said, "an impediment on the path to power." "You seem to me," I said, uncertainly, "one who might once have had honor." "I have outgrown it," he said. "The most dangerous lies," I said, "are those which we tell ourselves."

"You risked so much for a mere point of honor?" she asked. "There are no mere points of honor," I told her."

"Honor is important to Goreans, in a way that those of Earth might find it hard to understand; for example, those of Earth find it natural that men should go to war over matters of gold and riches, but not honor; the Gorean, contrariwise, is more willing to submit matters of honor to the adjudication of steel than he is matters of riches and gold; there is a simple explanation for this; honor is more important to him."

”But few of them, it seems, no matter how exquisite we are, no matter how beautiful we are, will compromise their honor for us. And I do not object to this for, without honor, how could they be men, and, if they were not men, true men, how could they be fit and perfect masters for us?“  

(Witness of Gor, p.498)

"As we honor this man we, in doing this, similarly do honor onto ourselves."

 (Marauders of Gor, p.182)

”Honor," I said, "has many voices, and many songs."

He looked down at me, startled, "That is a saying of warriors," he said. "It is from the codes. It is a long time since I have heard it. I had almost forgotten it. Where did you, a slave, hear it?"

"In Treve," I said.

"A den of thieves!" he said.

I did not respond. Who knows within what houses may be heard the voices of honor? Who knows within what walls may be heard her songs?“

(Witness of Gor, p.711)

”I had a respect for caste honor. Honor was honor, in small things as well as great. How can one practice honor in great things, if not in small things?“

(Rogue of Gor, p.231)

”…the Gorean tends to take such things as honor and truth very seriously.“

(Magicians of Gor, p.255)

”There is no loss of honor in failing to achieve such a task, I told myself.“

(Nomads of Gor, p.8)

”It is seldom wise, incidentally, to impugn, or attempt to manipulate, the honor of a Gorean.“

(Mercenaries of Gor, p.297)

”When Goreans get the idea that honor is involved they suddenly become quite difficult to deal with.“

(Magicians of Gor, p.400)

”I sat in the darkness and wondered on honor, and courage. If they were shams, I thought them most precious shams. How else could we tell ourselves from urts and sleen? What distinguishes us from such beasts? The ability to multiply and subtract, to tell lies, to make knives? No, I think particularly it is the sense of honor, and the will to hold one’s ground.“

(Marauders of Gor, p.6)

”The men of Gor, our masters, tend to take honor very seriously.“

(Witness of Gor, p.408)
