About this Quote

Akhenaton, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, asserts in this quote that honor is not exclusively an outcome of guts or bravery, nor is it obtained exclusively by risking one's life. Rather, honor is originated from the way in which actions are performed. It is not enough to merely complete a task or perform an act of bravery; the technique and execution of the action is what determines one's level of honor. This idea recommends that a well-considered, regulated approach to actions is more crucial than careless boldness or taking unnecessary dangers. In essence, honor is earned through a mix of guts and knowledge.
