Title
 
  The title of knight, on the back of a knave, is like a saddle upon a sow.
            —Alexander Brown		  1
  Titles of honor are like impressions on coin, which add no value to gold and silver, but only render brass current.
            —Laurence Sterne		  2
Titles and birth, like diamonds from the mine,
Must by your worth be polish’d ere they shine.
            —William Whitehead		  3
