We take so many of our freedoms for granted nowadays - I can travel where I like I can have a baby when I like I can do any job I want - but I do think chivalry has been lost a little bit.

The Southern whites are in many respects a great people. Looked at from a certain point of view they are picturesque. If one will put oneself in a romantic frame of mind one can admire their notions of chivalry and bravery and justice.

The old interests of aristocracy - the romance of action the exalted passions of chivalry and war - faded into the background and their place was taken by the refined and intimate pursuits of peace and civilization.

The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom to serve all but love only one.

The institution of chivalry forms one of the most remarkable features in the history of the Middle Ages.

The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.

Some say that the age of chivalry is past that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.

But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters economists and calculators has succeeded and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.
