Famous quotes containing the words combined and/or honours:
“A taste for drink, combined with gout,
Had doubled him up forever.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“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)
