Famous quotes containing the word honor:

    Funeral pomp is more for the vanity of the living than for the honor of the dead.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    This monument, so imposing and tasteful, fittingly typifies the grand and symmetrical character of him in whose honor it has been builded. His was “the arduous greatness of things done.” No friendly hands constructed and placed for his ambition a ladder upon which he might climb. His own brave hands framed and nailed the cleats upon which he climbed to the heights of public usefulness and fame.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    We honor founders of these starving cities,
    Whose honor is the image of our sorrow.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
