Famous quotes containing the words artificial and/or examples:

    A true politeness does not result from any hasty and artificial polishing, it is true, but grows naturally in characters of the right grain and quality, through a long fronting of men and events, and rubbing on good and bad fortune.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
