Honorable

Famous quotes containing the word honorable:

    A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

    An honorable murderer, if you will,
    For naught I did in hate, but all in honor.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
