| Lady |
| To be gentle is the test of a lady. Feltham. | 1 | ||||
| It is easier to make a lady of a peasant-girl than a peasant-girl of a lady. Herder. | 2 | ||||
Pope. | 3 | ||||
| It is good manners, not rank, wealth, or beauty, that constitute the real lady. Roger Ascham. | 4 | ||||
| It is true politeness, gentleness, and love for humanity, that constitute a lady. Annie E. Lancaster. | 5 | ||||
| If the inner life of our fashionable women were known, how few would deserve the title of lady! James Merrick. | 6 | ||||
| There are many true ladies, and they differ somewhat from society generally. So does a true gentleman, on the same principle of refinement and nobility of character. Maria McIntosh. | 7 | ||||
| A fine lady; by which term I wish to express the result of that perfect education in taste and manner, down to every gesture, which heaven forbid that I, professing to be a poet, should undervalue. It is beautiful, and therefore I welcome it in the name of the author of all beauty. I value it so highly that I would fain see it extend not merely from Belgravia to the tradesman’s villa, but thence, as I believe it one day will, to the laborer’s hovel and the needlewoman’s garret. Charles Kingsley. | 8 | ||||
