“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 give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first.”

This quote means to always keep your word. If you promise someone something don’t break it. A promise is something big in life. If you break it karma will get you back. For example, if your friend tells you something personal and makes you promise you won’t tell anyone , then you don’t. You have to keep it. Don’t go around telling other people her business. It’s something important.
