The ignorant classes are the dangerous classes.

All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.

Let him who expects one class of society to prosper in the highest degree, while the other is in distress, try whether one side ;of the face can smile while the other is pinched.

Lady Hodmarsh and the duchess immediately assumed the clinging affability that persons of rank assume with their inferiors in order to show them that they are not in the least conscious of any difference in station between them.

I am his Highness dog at Kew; pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?

Each class of society has its own requirements; but it may be said that every class teaches the one immediately below it; and if the highest class be ignorant, uneducated, loving display, luxuriousness, and idle, the same spirit will prevail in humbler life.

The distinctions separating the social classes are false; in the last analysis they rest on force.

Really, if the lower orders don't set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility.

Other lands have their vitality in a few, a class, but we have it in the bulk of our people.
