Names Quotes

"When I speak of home, I speak of the place where -- in default of a better -- those I love are gathered together; and if that place were a gypsy's tent, or a barn, I should call it by the same good name notwithstanding." ~ Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens "Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes." ~ Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde "Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword." ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott "What remains?" cried Ivanhoe; "Glory, maiden, glory! which gilds our sepulchre and embalms our name." ~ Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott But she named the infant "Pearl," as being of great price--purchased with all she had--her mother's only treasure! ~ The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne But what was a girl to Dombey and Son! In the capital of the House's name and dignity, such a child was merely a piece of base coin that couldn't be invested--a bad Boy--nothing more. ~ Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children. ~ Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray "Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands; but he that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him and makes me poor indeed." ~ Othello by William Shakespeare "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name!
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet." ~ Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare "What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet." ~ Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
