DEFERENCE
-
Deference is the instinctive respect which we pay to the great and good; the unconscious acknowledgment of the superiority or excellence of others.—TRYON EDWARDS
-
Deference often shrinks and withers as much upon the approach of intimacy, as the sensitive plant does upon the touch of one's finger.—W. SHENSTONE
-
Deference is the most delicate, the most indirect, and the most elegant of all compliments, and before company is the genteelest kind of flattery.—W. SHENSTONE
