Famous quotes containing the word honor:

To pluck bright honor from the pale-faced moon,
Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
And pluck up drowned honor by the locks.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“One should still honor the enemy in his friend. Can you go up close to your friend without going over to him?”
