Famous quotes containing the word conduct:

    Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for the conduct of life than a humorous resignation.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)

    Here in England the welfare of the State depends on the conduct of our aristocracy.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
