Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or titles:
“Shy and unready men are great betrayers of secrets; for there are few wants more urgent for the moment than the want of something to say.”
—Sir Henry Taylor (1800–1886)
“We have to be despised by somebody whom we regard as above us, or we are not happy; we have to have somebody to worship and envy, or we cannot be content. In America we manifest this in all the ancient and customary ways. In public we scoff at titles and hereditary privilege, but privately we hanker after them, and when we get a chance we buy them for cash and a daughter.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
