Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or honours:

    “the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither
    yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet
    favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. IX, 11)

    “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)
