Famous quotes containing the words board and/or honors:

    On board ship there are many sources of joy of which the land knows nothing. You may flirt and dance at sixty; and if you are awkward in the turn of a valse, you may put it down to the motion of the ship. You need wear no gloves, and may drink your soda-and-brandy without being ashamed of it.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
