Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or honours:

    “In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it’s more dangerous to lose than to win.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Come hither, all ye empty things,
    Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
    Who float upon the tide of state,
    Come hither, and behold your fate.
    Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
    How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
    From all his ill-got honours flung,
    Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
