Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or recipients:
“Use every man after his desert, and who should scape whipping?
Use them after your own honor and dignity—the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American. We recipients of the boon of liberty have always been ready, when faced with discomfort, to discard any and all first principles of liberty, and, further, to indict those who do not freely join with us in happily arrogating those principles.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
