Bachelor Duke

Famous quotes containing the words bachelor and/or duke:

“The wonderful scope and variety of female loveliness, if too long suffered to sway us without decision, shall finally confound all power of selection. The confirmed bachelor is, in America, at least, quite as often the victim of a too profound appreciation of the infinite charmingness of woman, as made solitary for life by the legitimate empire of a cold and tasteless temperament.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“That very knowing,
Overflowing,
Easygoing
Paladin,
The Duke of Plaza-Toro!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
