Famous quotes containing the word honors:

    “My heart’s subdued
    Even to the very quality of my lord.
    I saw Othello’s visage in his mind,
    And to his honors and his valiant parts
    Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The sire then shook the honors of his head,
    And from his brows damps of oblivion shed
    Full on the filial dullness:”
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)

    “Justice shines in very smoky homes, and honors the righteous; but the gold-spangled mansions where the hands are unclean she leaves with eyes averted.”
