Honoured Quotes

Genuine gratitude, expressed the moment recognition actually arrives.

These honoured quotes capture the moment someone is chosen or welcomed, whether it's joining a radio family or being selected as a political candidate, and the gratitude reads as sincere rather than rehearsed. One line even separates honourable conduct from simply being honoured. See Better quotes for that distinction in full.

It is better to be honourable than be honoured.
