Famous quotes containing the word honor:
“The state does not demand justice of its members, but thinks that it succeeds very well with the least degree of it, hardly more than rogues practice; and so do the neighborhood and the family. What is commonly called Friendship even is only a little more honor among rogues.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“I honor most those to whom I show least honor; and where my soul moves with great alacrity, I forget the proper steps of ceremony.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
