I have ever deemed it more honorable and profitable, too, to set a good example than to follow a bad one.

If honor were profitable, everybody would be honorable.
St. Thomas More
Ju means being natural or in other words the way which is natural and in accords with the truth of the universe and the one that human beings have to follow. Also, Ju may mean anything reasonable, just and honorable, accordingly noble: namely the realization of Truth , Good and Beauty.

The idea that feminism is the first group that has ever denounced rape is a gross libel to men. Throughout history, rape has been condemned by honorable men. Honorable men do not murder; honorable men do not steal; honorable men do not rape. It goes all the way back through history. Tarquin’s rape of Lucretia caused the fall of the tyrants and the beginning of the Roman Republic. The idea that somehow suddenly feminism miraculously found out that women were being exploited and raped throughout history is ridiculous.
Camille Paglia
I set out as a sort of self-dependent politician. My opinions were my own. I dashed at all prejudices. I scorned to follow anybody in matter of opinion.... All were, therefore, offended at my presumption, as they deemed it.
William Cobbett
Our army, if it exists for honorable purposes only, will draw to it honorable men. It will call to it the best men of our race- men of skill and culture. It will not be recruited as so many modern nations are, from those who are industrially useless.
