Quotes 

• Narrator : [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal]  When I was growing up on Waltons Mountain, the word "honor" was hardly ever used, but its meaning was well understood. Honorable behavior was something that was expected in my family. Therefore, I found it strange when, like every other freshman at school, I was told that honor was a tradition, and that the heart of it was to be found in a system that governed our lives as students, and one that, if ignored, could end our days as members of the student body.
