Famous quotes containing the word ceremony:

    “We are nothing but ceremony; ceremony carries us away, and we leave the substance of things; we hang on to the branches and abandon the trunk and body.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “No ceremony that to great ones ‘longs,
    Not the king’s crown, nor the deputed sword,
    The marshal’s truncheon, nor the judge’s robe,
    Become them with one half so good a grace
    As mercy does.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
