Oh, for an invasion of indignant ghosts, to drive from the old places the generation that dishonors the ancient Earth!
"Home Again"
George MacDonald
The sun was lighted up to shine, And man was born to praise; And when to praise the man shall cease, Or sun to strike the view; A cloud dishonors both; but man's The blacker of the two: For oh!
"The Poetical Works of Edward Young, Volume 2"
Edward Young
All the other crimes are virtues beside it: all the other dishonors are chivalry itself by comparison.
"Major Barbara"
George Bernard Shaw
