Social Behaviour

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or behaviour:

    There is a social respect necessary in company: you may start your own subject of conversation with modesty, taking care, however, de ne jamais parler de cordes dans la maison d’un pendu.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
