Famous quotes containing the words courtesy and/or title:

    “In courtesy I’d have her chiefly learned;
    Hearts are not had as a gift but hearts are earned
    By those that are not entirely beautiful;”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “And Reason kens he herits in
    A haunted house. Tenants unknown
    Assert their squalid lease of sin
    With earlier title than his own.”
