Famous quotes containing the words life and/or honors:
“It’s not that we have too much mother, but too little father. We can’t forgive our mothers for taking the place of our fathers until we are ready to see that the point of a man’s life is to be a father and a mentor, and we can’t do that because we don’t know how we would be a father or a mentor when we never had one.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
