Quote - i do put faith in the honour of some individuals i know.  that means i expect them to keep their promises if generally possible.  it doesn't mean i expect them to wield their influence upon bureaucracies from the great beyond.  :)

Very well said :)

One of the quickest ways to be dropped from my circle of friends is to show that you have no honour and can't be trusted.  For me, I value my word, my reputation and honour, and I will do whatever I can to make sure that I keep my promises wherever possible, and spend years trying to make it up and apologizing if for whatever reason something prevents me from doing so.

Too many people these days show a lack of honour and integrity. 

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
