“Act well your part; there all honor lies.”

This quote by Alexander Pope is very true and insightful one must do things honestly and be honorable. Alexander Pope is trying to say that the only way to honor yourself, is to act well. If you choose to not act well then you will not honor yourself and you will be a disgrace. I agree that by acting well and being true to yourself you will honor yourself. For example, say you are in a basketball team and your team is doing great it has a chance to win league, but you are scared you will lose the final. So you tell you and some of your teammates to take illegal enhancers or steroids to have a better chance of winning. When you finally play your championship game your team wins but later the district finds out you cheated and lose your title. You and your teammates get kicked from the team. You become a disgrace because you did not play well your part you played your part bad. You did a wrong thing, a bad thing for your team. You did not honor your school. Your team, your parents and fans, or yourself. You must be true with yourself and act well in order to bring honor to your name. If you do not you will have nothing but shame.
