Mention

Famous quotes containing the word mention:

    He had forty-two boxes, all carefully packed,
    With his name painted clearly on each:
    But, since he omitted to mention the fact,
    They were all left behind on the beach.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say “ladies and gentlemen,” but a lady should say, “gentlemen and ladies.” You mention your friend’s name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, “ladies and gentlemen.” It is a lack of good manners.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    Don’t mention the war.
    John Cleese (b. 1939)
