Worthy Lady

Famous quotes containing the words worthy and/or lady:

    Tonight, grave sir, both my poore house, and I
    Doe equally desire your companie:
    Not that we thinke us worthy such a ghest,
    But that your worth will dignifie our feast,
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    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)
