Gentleman Dancing Master

Famous quotes containing the words gentleman, dancing and/or master:

    Another gentleman ... desired to know if I was engaged, or would honour him with my hand [to dance]. So he was pleased to say, though I am sure I know not what honour he could receive from me; but these sort of expressions, I find, are used as words of course, without any distinction of persons, or study of propriety.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    I say to you: we must still have chaos within us to be able to give birth to a dancing star. I say to you: you still have chaos within you.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Better to master a small skill than to accumulate a big fortune.
    Chinese proverb.
