Famous quotes containing the word honor:

    “Funeral pomp is more for the vanity of the living than for the honor of the dead.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives,
    Live registered upon our brazen tombs,
    And then grace us in the disgrace of death;
    When spite of cormorant devouring Time,
    Th’ endeavor of this present breath may buy
    That honor which shall bate his scythe’s keen edge,
    And make us heirs of all eternity.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Predicament indeed, which thus discovers
    Honor among thieves Honor between lovers.
    O such a little word is Honor, they feel!
    But the grey word is between them cold as steel.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
