Famous quotes containing the word homage:
“But every insight from this realm of thought is felt as initial, and promises a sequel. I do not make it; I arrive there, and behold what was there already. I make! O no! I clap my hands in infantine joy and amazement, before the first opening to me of this august magnificence, old with the love and homage of innumerable ages, young with the life of life, the sunbright Mecca of the desert.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“By common consent of all the nations and all the ages the most valuable thing in this world is the homage of men, whether deserved or undeserved.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Do homage to thy King,
And highly praise His humble pomp
Which He from Heaven doth bring.”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
