Honor Court

Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or court:

    I honor most those to whom I show least honor; and where my soul moves with great alacrity, I forget the proper steps of ceremony.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Universal empire is the prerogative of a writer. His concerns are with all mankind, and though he cannot command their obedience, he can assign them their duty. The Republic of Letters is more ancient than monarchy, and of far higher character in the world than the vassal court of Britain.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
