Mention

Famous quotes containing the word mention:

“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)

“I criticize myself ruthlessly, but never mention the faults of which I am truly ashamed.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“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)
