Famous quotes containing the words honours and/or arms:
“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles raisd by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.
Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
How very mean a things a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turnd to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
“Let arms yield to the toga, let the [victors] laurel yield to the [orators] tongue.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (10643 B.C.)
