I just wondered what it means to you, if anything.

Ortegafollower's answer got me thinking about this a little more. When he suggested it might be more relevant in context, I decided to look it up and find out what it really means.
According to the OED, honour is high respect, reputation, good name and NOBLENESS OF MIND. (I love that last one.) Why would that need to be in any context? It should, in my opinion, govern ones whole being. To me it's a matter of being true to ones highest ideals in all things.

Honour is something you earn from others.
To honour someone is to hold them in high esteem.
It is not for one to claim it fore themselves.
Like politicians that call themselves Honourable.
When we know they are not.

It's kind of out of fashion. Nowadays other qualities are more appretiated. Personnaly, it seems like an uninteresting subject, along with morality. It can be relevant given a specific situation, and more appealing of a subject, but by itself it doesn't tell me much.
