"Act well your part; there all honor lies."
- Alexander Pope
Reflection:
I don't entirely understand this quote enough to defy it, so I'll just opt to agree with it. It is admirable to do your part, and do it well, as opposed to deciding to do something you shouldn't do, which is dishonorable. Suppose a man is married to a woman, his part is to respect and protect her, but if he strays from that objective he swore to complete at the altar, then isn't that dishonorable? Act well your part, and not only will you be respected, and trusted, you will maintain your decency and honor.
