Honor is a first thing that makes every other thing in life work. The only thing that comes before honor is the one thing that makes honor possible: Humility. Dishonor on every level stems from pride. Think Kingdom...Be humble...Do Honor = Have Success!

The thought behind the quote
Honor is a foundational principle that makes every other thing in life work. True honor cannot exist without humility, which is why humility must come first. When we humble ourselves, we create the fertile ground for honor to flourish, and in doing so, we open the doors to God's blessings—riches, honor, and long life, as Proverbs 22:4 promises.
Dishonor, on the other hand, is always rooted in pride. Pride is self-focused, believing that we are above others and that our needs and desires are more important. This attitude closes us off from God’s blessings and hinders our relationships with others. When we allow pride to take over, it leads to dishonor, broken relationships, and a life that falls short of the potential God has for us.
