Who is honored?

Who is honored? He who honors others

— from True North (Ethics, Integrity, Truth, Values) · Maharal of Prague Pirkel Avos: A Commentary based on selections from Maharal's Derech Chai

In the book

One philosopher even argued that the way to design a decent society is to make sure everyone's reputation is always on the line, so good behavior reliably brings good consequences. Ask who is truly honored, and the answer is: the one who honors others. The mature form of this reaches past your own street. — True North (Ethics, Integrity, Truth, Values)
