Famous quotes containing the words grave and/or gentleman:
“In that grave One
They spoke of the sun
And moon and stars,”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“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)
