    “Remember to take the best dancing master at Berlin, more to teach you to sit, stand, and walk gracefully, than to dance finely. The Graces, the Graces; remember the Graces!”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “As master of the universe, need he fear a master?”
    —Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    “There appears to be but two grand master passions or movers in the human mind, namely, love and pride. And what constitutes the beauty or deformity of a man’s character is the choice he makes under which banner he determines to enlist himself. But there is a strong distinction between different degress in the same thing and a mixture of two contraries.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
