Alas! it is true: "Be polite to bores and so shall you have bores always round about you."

Never take more than your share - whether of the road in driving your car, of chairs on a boat or seats on a train, or food at the table.

Bread is like dressed, hats and shoes - in other words, essential!

If you are hurt, whether in mind or body, don't nurse your bruises. Get up, and light-heartedly, courageously, good-temperedly, get ready for the next encounter.

Manners are made up of trivialities of deportment which can be easily learned if one does not happen to know them; manner is personality - the outward manifestation of one's innate character and attitude toward life.... Etiquette must, if it is to be of more than trifling use, include ethics as well as manners. Certainly what one is, is of far greater importance than what one appears to be.

Alas! it is true: "Be polite to bores and so shall you have bores always round about you."

A little praise is not only merest justice but is beyond the purse of no one.
