To ''know your
place'' is a good idea in politics. That is not to say
''stay in your place'' or ''hang on to your place,'' because
ambition or boredom may dictate upward or downward mobility,
but a sense of place -- a feel for one's own position in the
control room -- is useful in gauging what you should try to
do.
-- William Safire
1929-, American Journalist

The lounge of
the main hotel is full of jollity, with large comfortable
men sitting in braces; the bar is packed with talkative
intellectuals, full of witty disloyalties. The next week the
main hotel is suddenly full of dinner-jackets and large
hats. The girls are dressed as if for a weekend in the
country. When one of the great men of the party comes
through, the crowd edges respectfully away, murmuring loyal
noises.
-- Anthony Sampson
The courts of

Get thee glass

thou dost not.
