Famous quotes containing the words courtesy and/or title:

    “No rent-roll nor army-list can dignify skulking and dissimulation: and the first point of courtesy must always be truth, as really all the forms of good-breeding point that way.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A familiar name cannot make a man less strange to me. It may be given to a savage who retains in secret his own wild title earned in the woods. We have a wild savage in us, and a savage name is perchance somewhere recorded as ours.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
