A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country.

A medal glitters, but it also casts a shadow.

The honor paid to a wise man is a great good for those who honor him.

High honors are sweet To a man's heart, but ever They stand close to the brink of grief.

Don't come giving me, who's old enough to die and too near blind to create anything any more anyhow, a great big banquet that you eat up in honor of your own stomachs as much as in honor of me- who's toothless and can't eat.

Great honours are great burdens, but on whom They are cast with envy, he doth bear two loads.

Great power, which incites Great envy, hurls some men to destruction; they are drowned In a long, splendid stream of honors.

My slumber broken and my doublet torn, I find the laurel also bears a thorn.

Let a prize lower my position, if it causes me to be read; that I prefer immediately to all the honors.

It is sure that those are most desirous of honour or glory who cry out loudest of its abuse and the vanity of the world.
