Letter "D" » dishonor

«The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence.

And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That's all there is to it.»
