Famous quotes containing the words trick and/or modes:
“There is a marvelous turn and trick to British arrogance; its apparent unconsciousness makes it twice as effectual.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“Without any extraordinary effort of genius, I have discovered that nature was the same three thousand years ago as at present; that men were but men then as well as now; that modes and customs vary often, but that human nature is always the same. And I can no more suppose, that men were better, braver, or wiser, fifteen hundred or three thousand years ago, than I can suppose that the animals or vegetables were better than they are now.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
