Not a fan of the man, but the words ring true

Honor never grows old, and honor rejoices the heart of age. It does
so because honor is, finally, about defending those noble and worthy
things that deserve defending, even if it comes at a high cost. In
our time, that may mean social disapproval, public scorn, hardship,
persecution, or as always, even death itself. The question remains:
What is worth defending? What is worth dying for? What is worth
living for? - William J. Bennett - in a lecture to the United
States Naval Academy, 11/24/1997.
