Definition of Honorable

In case anyone was wondering what a true definition of “honorable” is here is what Dictionary.com has. 

*NOTE*: There is more details on the web page, please click the word for a link to the page I reference.

Honorable

  1. in accordance with or characterized by principles of honor; upright: They were all honorable men.
  2. of high rank, dignity, or distinction; noble, illustrious, or distinguished.
  3. worthy of honor and high respect; estimable; creditable.
  4. bringing honor or credit; consistent with honor.
  5. (initial capital letter)
    1. (used as a title of respect for certain ranking government officials.)
    2. British. (used as a title of courtesy for children of peers ranking below a marquis.) Abbreviation: Hon.

Now take that definition and try to pick someone that is in the public spot light and see if it applies to them.
