Famous quotes containing the words gentleman, dancing and/or master:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”

“My Mama has made bread
and Grampaw has come
and everybody is drunk
and dancing in the kitchen”

“Such thought such though have I that hold it tight
Till meditation master all its parts,
Nothing can stay my glance
Until that glance run in the world’s despite
To where the damned have howled away their hearts,
And where the blessed dance....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
