Famous quotes containing the words combined and/or honours:
“Riches have never fascinated me, unless combined with the greatest charm or distinction.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“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)
