Famous quotes containing the words special and/or honors:
“Personal prudence, even when dictated by quite other than selfish considerations, surely is no special virtue in a military man; while an excessive love of glory, impassioning a less burning impulse, the honest sense of duty, is the first.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“There is a moment when god honors falsehood.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
