Famous quotes containing the word honour:

    Fondly we think we honour merit then,
    When we but praise ourselves in other men.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Do not you see that every misfortune is misconduct; that every honour is desert; that every effort is an insolence of your own?... You carry your fortune in your own hand.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Kings were wont to honour philosophers; but if I had such I would honour them as angels that should have such purity in them that they would not seek when they are the second to be the first, and when they are third to be the second.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
