Remark, actually your version sounds better. The only issue is the meaning may not be as clear depending on the meaning of the words.

Your version:

Meaning 1: My word is my bond and I will honour my words for those who are bound by honour and not those who flee from honouring their bond..

Meaning 2:: My word is my bond and it is an honour for anyone tied down and not those who escape.

My version and meaning:

The philosophy of "My Word is My Bond"
This idiom is not practiced by those who run away
The idiom is truly practiced by those who are bound by honour

I have added the quotes around the first line to make the philosophy generic and to clarify that this meaning was what I intended. Thanks for helping me to clarify and correct the Rhyku to the original meaning.
