| Insolence Quotes Insolence Definition |
|
|
Callousness and insolence bring to bare unanimous social condemnation, while the simple efforts of politeness are admired; even in those who are otherwise despised.
Bryant H. McGill Flattery in courtship is the highest insolence, for whilst it pretends to bestow on you more than you deserve, it is watching an opportunity to take from you what you really have. Sarah Fielding Insolence is not logic; epithets are the arguments of malice. Robert Green Ingersoll Success is the space one occupies in the newspaper. Success is one day's insolence. Elias Canetti The scum of the People are most Tyrannical when they get the Power, and treat their Betters with the greatest Insolence. Mary Astell There is an insolence which none but those who themselves deserve contempt can bestow, and those only who deserve no contempt can bear. Henry Fielding We appreciate frankness from those who like us. Frankness from others is called insolence. Andre Maurois Wit is educated insolence. Aristotle |
