Famous quotes containing the words hand and/or neighbour:
“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)
“With close-lipp’d Patience for our only friend,
Sad Patience, too near neighbour to Despair.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
