1. I like him because of his honesty. 2. I like him on account of his honesty. 3. I like him on the ground of his honesty. 4. I like him thanks to his honesty. 5. I like him owing to his honesty. 6. I like him due to his honesty. (Are they all grammatical? Do they have the same meaning? Do you have some more common expressions similiar to 'because of'?)

  1-5 are correct, but 3 is not common at all. All mean the same thing. 6 includes an incorrect use of the word "due." http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/plague.htm See #7.
