Honorable

Famous quotes containing the word honorable:

“European society has always been divided into classes in a way that American society never has been. A European writer considers himself to be part of an old and honorable tradition—of intellectual activity, of letters—and his choice of a vocation does not cause him any uneasy wonder as to whether or not it will cost him all his friends. But this tradition does not exist in America.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)

“Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—
For Brutus is an honorable man;
So are they all, all honorable men -
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
