Famous quotes containing the words test, scores and/or honors:

—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“What is it then between us?
What is the count of the scores or hundreds of years between us?
Whatever it is, it avails not—distance avails not, and
place avails not,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“There is a moment when god honors falsehood.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
