Famous quotes containing the words late, life and/or honors:

    “It is a mischievous notion that we are come late into nature; that the world was finished a long time ago. As the world was plastic and fluid in the hands of God, so it is ever to so much of his attributes as we bring to it. To ignorance and sin, it is flint. They adapt to themselves to it as they may; but in proportion as a man has anything in him divine, the firmament flows before him and takes his signet and form.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “They say the seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
