I Can Enjoy Society In A Room;

Fashion Is Gentility Running Away From Vulgarity And Afraid Of Being Overtaken

Perhaps Propriety Is As Near A Word As Any To Denote The Manners Of The Gentleman; Elegance Is Necessary To The Fine Gentleman; Dignity Is Proper To Noblemen; And Majesty To Kings.

To-day Kings, To-marrow Beggars, It Is Only When They Are Themselves That They Are Nothing.

Wit Is, In Fact, The Eloquence Of Indifference.

Taste Is Nothing But An Enlarged Capacity For Receiving Pleasure From Works Of Imagination.
