Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or honours:

    “I’m out of repair
    but you are tall in your battle dress
    and I must arrange for your journey.
    I was always a virgin,
    old and pitted.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “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)
