Famous quotes containing the word tribute:

    If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay—in solid cash—the tribute which philistinism owes to culture, the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    O heart, we are old;
    The living beauty is for younger men:
    We cannot pay its tribute of wild tears.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In the hope that it may be no intrusion upon the sacredness of your sorrow, I have ventured to address you this tribute to the memory of my young friend, and your brave and early fallen child. May God give you that consolation which is beyond all earthly power.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
