Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or recipient:
“If it be aught toward the general good,
Set honor in one eye, and death i’th’ other,
And I will look on both indifferently;
For let the gods so speed me as I love
The name of honor more than I fear death.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“He who bestows something great receives no gratitude; for in accepting it the recipient has already been weighed down too much.”
