Famous quotes containing the word honor:

    If we must die, O let us nobly die,
    So that our precious blood may not be shed
    In vain; then even the monsters we defy
    Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
    Claude McKay (1889–1948)

    He thought, the madman, it was an honor to be feared.
    Silius Italicus (26–101)

    To honor him whom we have made is far from honoring him that hath made us.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
