Honor Recipient

Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or recipient:

“Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage. That is all true. But it is only fair, too, to let them know that the garments of the deity are filthy and that some of her influences debase and befoul a people.”
—Rebecca Harding Davis (1831–1910)

“True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
