Whenever two people come together and their behavior affects one another, you have etiquette.

Courtesy demands that you, when you are a guest, shall show neither annoyance nor disappointment--no matter what happens.

Manners are made up of trivialities of deportment which can be easily learned if one does not happen to know them.

Houses without personality are a series of walled enclosures with furniture standing around in them. Other houses are filled with things of little intrinsic value, even with much that is shabby and yet they have that inviting atmosphere.

Rather be frumpy than vulgar! Much. Frumps are often celebrities in disguise -- but a person of vulgar appearance is vulgar all through.

Manners are like primary colors, there are certain rules and once you have these you merely mix, i.e., adapt, them to meet changing situations.

To make a pleasant and friendly impression is not alone good manners, but equally good business.
