    Usefulness! It is not a fascinating word, and the quality is not one of which the aspiring spirit can dream o’ nights, yet on the stage it is the first thing to aim at.
    —Ellen Terry (1847–1928)

    In the ordinary course of things, how many succeed in society merely by virtue of their manners, while others, however meritorious, fail through lack of them? After all, it’s only barbarians who wear uncut precious stones.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
