Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or honours:
“No slogan of democracy; no battle cry of freedom is more striving then the American parents simple statement which all of you have heard many times: I want my child to go to college.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (19081973)
“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles raisd 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 things a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turnd to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
