Pauli Ellefsen - Honor

Famous quotes containing the word honor:

“Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage. That is all true. But it is only fair, too, to let them know that the garments of the deity are filthy and that some of her influences debase and befoul a people.”
—Rebecca Harding Davis (1831–1910)

“I understand the phrase “Honor the Women” all too well: the poet has probably a wife of his own, but he prefers to honor another.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“I honor most those to whom I show least honor; and where my soul moves with great alacrity, I forget the proper steps of ceremony.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
