Golf is a particularly severe strain upon the amiability of the average person's temper, and in no other game, except bridge, is serenity of disposition so essential.

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

To do exactly as your neighbors do is the only sensible rule.

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.

Good manners reflect something from inside-an innate sense of consideration for others and respect for self.

Never think, because you cannot write a letter easily, that it is better not to write at all. The most awkward note imaginable is better than none.

The only occasion when the traditions of courtesy permit a hostess to help herself before a woman guest is when she has reason to believe the food is poisoned.
