Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or honours:

    “Napoleon said of Massena, that he was not himself until the battle began to go against him; then, when the dead began to fall in ranks around him, awoke his powers of combination, and he put on terror and victory as a robe.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If a novel reveals true and vivid relationships, it is a moral work, no matter what the relationships consist in. If the novelist honours the relationship in itself, it will be a great novel.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
