Famous quotes containing the words named and/or honour:

    “And he appointed twelve, whom he also named apostles, to be with him, and to be sent out to proclaim the message...”
    —Bible: New Testament, Mark 3:14.

    “The gentlemen [at a ball], as they passed and repassed, looked as if they thought we were quite at their disposal, and only waiting for the honour of their commands; and they sauntered about, in a careless indolent manner, as if with a view to keep us in suspense.... I thought it so provoking, that I determined in my own mind that, far from humouring such airs, I would rather not dance at all.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)
