様 (sama) is perhaps the most respecting honorific, it is considered extremely arrogant to refer to yourself with this honorific. You would use it in addressing people you greatly admire, have a higher rank than oneself, or customers. Some examples, 神様 (kami-sama, god/deity), お客様 (okyaku-sama, customer).
