Quotations for mail

Perseverance, dear my lord,
Keeps honour bright: to have done is to hang
Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail
In monumental mockery. [ Shakespeare ]

He that respects himself is safe from others; he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]

Wise laws and just restraints are to a noble nation not chains, but chains of mail, - strength and defense, though something of an incumbrance. [ Ruskin ]

Honor is not a virtue in itself, it is the mail behind which the virtues fight more securely. A man without honor is as maimed in his equipment as an accoutred knight without helmet. Honor is not simply truthfulness; it is truthfulness sparkling with the fire of a suspective personality. It is something more than an ornament even to the loftiest. [ George H. Calvert ]
