Address makes opportunities; the want of it gives them. - Christian Nestell Bovee A man who knows the world will not only make the most of everything he does know, but of many things that he does not know; and will gain more credit by his adroit mode of hiding his ignorance than the pedant by his awkward attempt to exhibit his erudition. - Charles Caleb Colton Give a boy address and accomplishments, and you give him the mastery of palaces and fortunes where he foes. He has not the trouble of earning or owning them; they solicit him to enter and possess. - Ralph Waldo Emerson Brahma once asked of Force, "Who is stronger than thou?" She replied, "Address." - Victor Hugo There is a certain artificial polish, a commonplace vivacity acquired by perpetually mingling in the beau monde; which, in the commerce of world, supplies the place of natural suavity and good-humour, but is purchased at the expense of all original and sterling traits of character. - Washington Irving
