Honor
Honor is the capacity to control the instinctive
selfishness that lurks in all of us.  It is the
tough case-hardened ability to put morality ahead
of expediency, duty ahead of deviousness and to
do it instinctively and every time.  Honor also
means pride in excellence of every kind
especially excellence of performance.  --General
Mark Clark

A cadet does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor
tolerate those who do

Duty

Duty is the sublimest word in the English
language.  You should do your duty in all
things.  You can never do more. You should never
wish to do less. General Robert E. Lee

Respect

• Drugs/Alcohol

The one mode or the other of dealing with
subordinates springs from a corresponding spirit
in the breast of the commander. He who feels the
respect which is due to others cannot fail to
inspire in them regard for himself, while he who
feels, and hence manifests, disrespect toward
others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to
inspire hatred against himself. Major General
John M. Schofield
