He who flees honor – this is itself honorable.

He who flees honor – this is itself honorable.

People who do not seek honor are worthy of the honor that is consequentially paid to them for acting in this manner.

(“But one who flees from honor — that itself is his honor: that he does not desire honor, but is humble and modest. And since this quality itself is his honor, additional honor is drawn to him. Likewise, one who pursues honor — honor flees from him.”)
