"[girl] is looking for any quotes on slaves with honor.. She saw some quotes with pride but was they any quotes where slaves were allowed honor or given honor?"

Answer
Hello,

Whether or not a slave can have honor has been a muchly debated subject. Obviously a slave owns nothing, not even her name. There are those who then say that this means a slave can have no pride or honor. Some have used this quote to back that up.

"It is not uncommon for a girl who is even trivially displeasing to be whipped. I looked at the large, handsome fellow. I had no honor to protect, no pride to uphold, for I was slave."
Slave Girl of Gor     Book 11     Page 90

However, taken to the extreme, this would mean she could have no reasoning ability. However it makes much more sense that in any given situation a slave can act or accomplish an action in different ways. In other words the end result is the same but how the act is accomplished can be done so with honor and respect. Following now are several quotes that prove beyond a doubt that salves do indeed have honor.

I wish you well,
Fogaban


When I leaped up, laughing, shaking my head and hair, he again offered to place his cloak about my shoulders, that my body might be covered when I went to the shed for the work slaves.
It was much honor that he did me, a mere female slave.

"Why do the slaves wear purple?" I asked Misk. "That is the color of the robes of a Ubar."

"You are now kneeling on a couch," said the fellow, "which, for a female slave, is a great honor. You may be months into your bondage before you are again permitted such an honor."

"I beg the inestimable honor and privilege of being made an absolute slave," she said.

And I acknowledge myself as only a miserable slave. It is a great honor for me that you have selected me out, from the others, to be sent to your chambers this night, to serve you.
Rogue of Gor     Book 15     Page 205

"Although you are only a slave your master is permitting you to serve him," I said.
"This is a great honor." She seemed startled. Then it became clear to her that this was, for her, a slave, an honor. "You have a treasured opportunity," I pointed out, "to serve the master."
Slave Girl of Gor     Book 11     Page 406

We knelt, two beautiful slave girls, lowly pierced-ear girls, paga slaves. It was a great honor for girls such as we that a man such as Thandar of Ti would even deign to cast a glance upon us.
Slave Girl of Gor     Book 11     Page 299

"You were treated with great kindness. You were not put in the kitchens. You were not given to tharlarion drivers. You were taken into our own apartments. You were permitted to sleep in my own chamber, at the foot of my couch. You were trained diligently as a lady's maid."
"Yes, Mistress," said the girl.
"Is that not a great honor for a slave slut?"
"Yes, Mistress," said the girl.
