Honorable

Famous quotes containing the word honorable:

“The ability to secure an independent livelihood and honorable employ suited to her education and capacities is the only true foundation of the social elevation of woman, even in the very highest classes of society. While she continues to be educated only to be somebody’s wife, and is left without any aim in life till that somebody either in love, or in pity, or in selfish regard at last grants her the opportunity, she can never be truly independent.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

“Fear most to tax an honorable fool,
Whose right it is, uncensured to be dull;”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“An honorable murderer, if you will,
For naught I did in hate, but all in honor.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
