The reputation and worth of a man consisteth in his heart and will; therein lies true honour
(Montaigne, Essays 1.30).
The worth of a man is determined through his heart, as that is where true honour lies.
What Is Honour? (Video)

Perhaps the most moving statement of the importance of inner honour comes from Hermione, in The Winter's Tale, as she stands accused of adultery, and threatened with death:
But yet hear this--mistake me not: for life,
I prize it not a straw, but for mine honour,
Which I would free--if I should be condemned
Upon surmises, all proofs sleeping else,
But what your jealousies awake, I tell you,
'Tis rigour, and not law.
