Famous quotes containing the words honors and and/or honors:

    My heart’s subdued
    Even to the very quality of my lord.
    I saw Othello’s visage in his mind,
    And to his honors and his valiant parts
    Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    My heart’s subdued
    Even to the very quality of my lord.
    I saw Othello’s visage in his mind,
    And to his honors and his valiant parts
    Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
