Mention

Famous quotes containing the word mention:

“Oh! no! we never mention her,
Her name is never heard;
My lips are now forbid to speak
That once familiar word.”
—Thomas Bayly (1797–1839)

“But this is neither here nor there—why do I mention it?—Ask my pen,—it governs me,—I govern not it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say “ladies and gentlemen,” but a lady should say, “gentlemen and ladies.” You mention your friend’s name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, “ladies and gentlemen.” It is a lack of good manners.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
