Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or homage:

    “Fashion, though in a strange way, represents all manly virtue. It is virtue gone to seed: it is a kind of posthumous honor. It does not often caress the great, but the children of the great: it is a hall of the Past.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In the genuine hope that this peace will be permanent, we take the opportunity to pay homage to all our fighters, commandos and volunteers who have paid the supreme sacrifice. They did not die in vain. The union is safe.”
    —Combined Loyalist Military Command. New York Times, p. A12 (October 14, 1994)
