Famous quotes containing the word gentlemen:
“Never let the estate decrease in your hands. It is only by such resolutions as that that English noblemen and English gentlemen can preserve their country. I cannot bear to see property changing hands.”

“This quiet Dust was Gentlemen and Ladies,
And Lads and Girls;”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“The ladies here probably exchanged looks which meant, “Men never know when things are dirty or not;” and the gentlemen perhaps thought each to himself, “Women will have their little nonsense and needless cares.””
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
