On Insults

"A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally." - Oscar Wilde

"If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved." - J. Russell Lynes

"A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation." - Moliere

"Insults should be written in sand, compliments should be carved in stone" - Arab Proverb

"To be insulted by you is to be garlanded with lilies" - Aristophanes
