Famous quotes containing the words honour and/or command:
“Alack-o-day, replied the corporal ... your honour knows I have neither wife or child—I can have no sorrows in this world.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Ordinary time is “quality time” too. Everyday activities are not just necessities that keep you from serious child rearing: they are the best opportunities for learning you can give your child...because her chief task in her first three years is precisely to gain command of the day-to-day life you take for granted.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
