Thus men and women of honor engage with noble causes and honor is considered the crown jewel which illuminates the soul. It is our inner and spiritual crown, the royal garment of the human being, it is the royal privilege of men.
ristotle, teacher of Alexander the Great, said: "the vulgarities of ordinary men seem to identify with happiness and pleasure, which is the reason why they love the life of enjoyment, they comprise the mass of mankind and are evidently quite slavish in their tastes, preferring a life suitable to beasts. On the other hand, noble men show superior refinement and are of active disposition for they identify happiness with honor." 1
Beauty will save the world2

or your interest, the principal inspiration of our noble Order is the Spanish H.M. King Alfonso X the Wise, King of Castile (1221-1284).
As a ruler, Alfonso showed great legislative capacity, and a wish to provide his subjects with a code of laws and a consistent judicial system.
As a writer and intellectual he gained considerable scientific fame based on his encouragement of astronomy.
He made his Court a multicultural haven for artists, scientists, and musicians of all backgrounds.
The king himself composed poetry and learned treatises, and left an enduring cultural legacy that continues to this day.
And thus we endeavor to emulate King Alfonso the Wise, to gather together men and women of Honor around the World in our noble Order.

Dear reader, please dot not forget thesebeautiful words, written by Don Miguel de Cervantes, Prince of Wits, in his magnum opus, The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha.
iberty is one of the most precious gifts which heaven hath bestowed on man, exceeding all the treasures which earth encloses or which ocean hides; and for this blessing, as well as for honor, we may and ought to venture life itself: on the other hand, captivity and restraint are the greatest evils that human nature can endure.3
" ' Life as it is.' I have lived for over forty years and I've seen ' life as it is'. Pain. Misery. Cruelty beyond belief. I've heard all the voices of God's noblest creature -- moans from bundles of filth in the street. I've been a soldier and a slave. I've seen my comrades fall in battle or die more slowly under the lash in Africa . I've held them at the last moment. These were men who saw ' life as it is,' but they died despairing. No glory. No bray of last words. Only their eyes, filled with confusion, questioning, 'Why?' I do not think they were asking why they were dying, but why they had ever lived . When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams, this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness. But maddest of all -- to see life as it is, and not as it should be!"
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify and vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
e look forward to a time when honor as a moral value that governs human behaviour will prevail, and the banners of justice, mercy and brotherhood among peoples will be raised in order to achieve security, stability and peace for all humanity.
