Honor Pledge

Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or pledge:

“One should still honor the enemy in his friend. Can you go up close to your friend without going over to him?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“It is always singular, but encouraging, to meet with common sense in very old books, as the Heetopades of Veeshnoo Sarma; a playful wisdom which has eyes behind as well as before, and oversees itself. It asserts their health and independence of the experience of later times. This pledge of sanity cannot be spared in a book, that it sometimes pleasantly reflect upon itself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
