Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or honors:

    “Fashion, though in a strange way, represents all manly virtue. It is virtue gone to seed: it is a kind of posthumous honor. It does not often caress the great, but the children of the great: it is a hall of the Past.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Justice shines in very smoky homes, and honors the righteous; but the gold-spangled mansions where the hands are unclean she leaves with eyes averted.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
