Similar to the suggestion already given you could have "Nitere semper ad honorem"
Honour can be translated differently according to the shade of meaning you want, so you may want to substitute "honorem" (distinction) with "gloriam" (renown) or "dignitatem" (self respect).
Another way to express things could be "Strive always to be held in high regard" ~ Contende semper in honore haberi.
"Strive always to be honoured" ~ Annitere semper ut honorere.(or "honoreris" but the alternative verb ending mirrors what went before)

Ad honorem (or: honestatem) nitere - aeternum! (if you say it to one person, which is the usual form for mottoes)
Ad honorem (or: honestatem) nititor - aeternum! (if you say it to several persons)
Or: "in aeternum" if you think it sounds better, but "in" is not necessary. "Aeterne" is also OK.
"Semper" (always, at all times) would probably be the standard choice for a motto, and what I would have chosen. "Ad honorem semper nitere".
Honorem/honestatem: "honorem" stresses the distinction shown; due honour; praise that one has deserved. "To hold someone in honour". "Honestatem" is more "true honourableness", a personal quality or virtue, whether it's recognized or not. You can have "honestas" without ever being shown "honor(honos)". I think that "honorem" would be the first choice for a motto, especially together with "strive for".
