Honor Societies

Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or societies:

“The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.”

“There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. This is what the West has done with its colonial system.
