Honours Boards

Famous quotes containing the words honours and/or boards:

    “Come hither, all ye empty things,
    Ye bubbles rais’d 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 thing’s a Duke;
    From all his ill-got honours flung,
    Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “These doorsteps seldom have a visitor.
    The warping boards pull out their own old nails
    With none to tread and put them in their place.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
