Famous quotes containing the words reserve and/or base:
“Mutual repect implies discretion and reserve even in love itself; it means preserving as much liberty as possible to those whose life we share. We must distrust our instinct of intervention, for the desire to make one’s own will prevail is often disguised under the mask of solicitude.”

“Report of fashions in proud Italy,
Whose manners still our tardy-apish nation
Limps after in base imitation.”
