Famous quotes containing the words named and/or honor:
“Histories of the world omitted China; if a Chinaman invented compass or movable type or gunpowder we promptly forgot it and named their European inventors. In short, we regarded China as a sort of different and quite inconsequential planet.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
“Give me a staff of honor for mine age,
But not a sceptre to control the world.”
