Quote: It is be aught toward the general good, set honor in one eye and death th' other, And i will look on both indifferently' for let the gods so speed me, as I love the name of honor more than death.
This quote is from Brutus, Act 1 Scene 2 lines 85-89. Here Brutus is saying that he wants to serve the greater good. He can look at both honor and death and he thanks the Gods that he can choose one or the other. He likes honor more than he likes death, however but he would die to obtain honor.
Brutus is like a Clingon. The Clingons (yes, Start Trek reference) would rather die in battle than of old age. They are forever searching for honor. Therefore, he appears to be biased towards people who 'have' honor. That is probably hat got him to his high position in Roman society. Honor appears to govern Brutus' life.

Good! This quote perfectly reflects the topic of honor, and I like that you connect the quote to a modern reference.
