• Preserve me from such cordiality! It is like handling briar-roses and may-blossoms - bright enough to the eye, and outwardly soft to the touch, but you know there are thorns beneath, and every now and then you feel them too; and perhaps resent the injury by crushing them in till you have destroyed their power, though somewhat to the detriment of your own fingers.

• El mayor peligro para el cristianismo, sostengo, no son las herejías, ni las heterodoxias, ni los ateos, ni el secularismo profano, no, sino el tipo de ortodoxia que es una tontería cordial, una mediocridad servida con dulzura. No hay nada que desplace tan insidiosamente lo majestuoso como la cordialidad.

• The things that make you a functional citizen in society - manners, discretion, cordiality - don't necessarily make you a good writer. Writing needs raw truth, wants your suffering and darkness on the table, revels in a cutting mind that takes no prisoners.

• Los misántropos tenemos algunas virtudes admirables, aunque paradójicas. No es exagerado decir que somos de las personas más agradables que se pueden conocer. Como los buenos modales construyen muros robustos, nuestra aversión a la intimidad nos convierte en "barcos que pasan de noche" sumamente cordiales. Mientras sigas siendo un extraño, seremos tus amigos para siempre.

• the relationship between the two men was something of a miracle in itself. It was a cordiality based, apparently, on complete non-comprehension cemented by a deep mutual respect for the utterly unknown. No two men saw less eye to eye and the result was unexpected harmony, as if a dog and a fish had mysteriously become friends and were proud each of the other's remarkable dissimilarity to himself.

• Such was the end of Philip (II, king of Macedonia) ...He had ruled 24 years. He is known to fame as one who with but the slenderest resources to support his claim to a throne won for himself the greatest empire among the Hellenes (Greeks), while the growth of his position was not due so much to his prowess in arms as to his adroitness and cordiality in diplomacy.

• The Forsytes were resentful of something, not individually, but as a family; this resentment expressed itself in an added perfection of raiment, an exuberance of family cordiality, an exaggeration of family importance, and the sniff. Danger so indispensable in bringing out the fundamental quality of any society, group, or individual was what the Forsytes scented; the premonition of danger put a burnish on their armour. For the first time, as a family, they appeared to have an instinct of being in contact, with some strange and unsafe thing.
