Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or honour:
“One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“Riches are valuable at all times, and to all men; because they always purchase pleasures, such as men are accustomed to, and desire: Nor can any thing restrain or regulate the love of money, but a sense of honour and virtue; which, if it be not nearly equal at all times, will naturally abound most in ages of knowledge and refinement.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
