Proper List

Famous quotes containing the words proper and/or list:

“Religion is by no means a proper subject of conversation in mixed company; it should only be treated among a very few people of learning, for mutual instruction. It is too awful and respectable a subject to become a familiar one.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
