“The age of chivalry has gone; the age of humanity has come.”
Charles Sumner
“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.”
Charles Kingsley
“But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators, has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished for ever.”
Edmund Burke
“The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.”
Charles Dickens
“The world's male chivalry has perished out, but women are knights-errant to the last; and, if Cervantes had been greater still, he had made his Don a Donna.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
“The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one.”
Honore de Balzac
“The odious and disgusting aristocracy of wealth is built upon the ruins of all that is good in chivalry or republicanism; and luxury is the forerunner of a barbarism scarcely capable of cure.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley
