Famous quotes containing the words honours and/or received:
“Vain men delight in telling what Honours have been done them, what great Company they have kept, and the like; by which they plainly confess, that these Honours were more than their Due, and such as their Friends would not believe if they had not been told: Whereas a Man truly proud, thinks the greatest Honours below his Merit, and consequently scorns to boast. I therefore deliver it as a Maxim that whoever desires the Character of a proud Man, ought to conceal his Vanity.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“To speak critically, I never received more than one or two letters in my life—I wrote this some years ago—that were worth the postage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
