Honorable

Famous quotes containing the word honorable:

“I trust the time is coming, when the occupation of an instructer [sic] to children will be deemed the most honorable of human employment.

—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

“A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
