Famous quotes containing the words honors and/or campaigns:

    “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)

    “That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
    —Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
