1,157 Quotes About Honor

  • Quote

    The seductions of power, and all the wealth, honor, and luxury it gives, seem a sufficient aim for men's efforts only so long as they are unattained.

They are like clouds which have form and beauty only from the distance; directly one ascends into them, all their splendor vanishes.
