“I have been asked what i mean by ‘WORD OF HONOR.’ i will tell you, place me behind prison walls, walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground- there is a possibility that in some way or another i might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me gave MY WORD OF HONOR never to cross it. CAN I GET OUT OF THAT CIRCLE? NO, NEVER! I’D DIE FIRST”

What this quote means is that when you say something your giving your word of honor for example if i told my mom “I’ll be in football practice after school today” i better be in football practice and nowhere else because i gave my word of honor.
