Famous quotes containing the words special and/or honors:

    “And weren’t there special cemetery flowers,
    That, once grief sets to growing, grief may rest:
    The flowers will go on with grief awhile,
    And no one seem neglecting or neglected?
    A prudent grief will not despise such aids.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “There is a moment when god honors falsehood.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
