Famous quotes containing the words honour and/or judge:
“Weep not for little Leonie,
Abducted by a French Marquis!
Though loss of honour was a wrench,
Just think how its improved her French.”
—Harry Graham (18741936)
“To judge the appearances we receive of things, we should need a judicatory instrument; to verify this instrument, we should need a demonstration; to rectify this demonstration, we should need an instrument: so here we are arguing in a circle.
Seeing the senses cannot decide our dispute, being themselves full of uncertainty, we must have recourse to Reason; there is no reason but must be built upon another reason, so here we are retreating backwards to all eternity.”
—Michel de Montaigne (15331592)
