Famous quotes containing the words selected, list and/or honors:

    The final flat of the hoe’s approval stamp
    Is reserved for the bed of a few selected seed.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    All is possible,
    Who so list believe;
    Trust therefore first, and after preve,
    As men wed ladies by license and leave,
    All is possible.
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    The sire then shook the honors of his head,
    And from his brows damps of oblivion shed
    Full on the filial dullness:
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
