Tell him that his sword can never win the honour that he loses

In William Shakespeare's works, the theme of honor and reputation is a recurring motif that is often explored through the actions and decisions of his characters. One of the most famous quotes that delves into this theme is "Tell him that his sword can never win the honour that he loses." This line is from Shakespeare's play, "King Richard II," and is spoken by the character John of Gaunt.
