Famous quotes containing the word honour:

    When other Ladies to the Shades go down,
    Still Flavia, Chloris, Celia stay in Town;
    Those Ghosts of Beauty ling’ring there abide,
    And haunt the places where their Honour dy’d.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Shelley is truth itself—and honour itself—notwithstanding his out-of-the-way notions about religion.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honour is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don’t resent them, you are not fit to live.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
