Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or recipients:
“Yet this inconstancy is such
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee, dear, so much,
Loved I not honor more.”
—Richard Lovelace (1618–1658)
“The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American. We recipients of the boon of liberty have always been ready, when faced with discomfort, to discard any and all first principles of liberty, and, further, to indict those who do not freely join with us in happily arrogating those principles.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
