Karl G. Maeser once made a statement about how chalk circles can be used to demonstrate the importance of keeping commitments. He said:
"I have been asked what I mean by my word of honor. I will tell you. Place me behind prison walls - ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground - there is a possibility that in some way or another I will escape; but stand me on a floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No. Never! I would die first!" [In Alma P. Burton, Karl G. Maeser: Mormon Educator (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1953, p. 71]
