Never Think, Because You Cannot

No Rule Of Etiquette Is Of Less Importance Than Which Fork We Use.

There Is No Reason Why You Should Be Bored When You Can Be Otherwise. But If You Find Yourself Sitting In The Hedgerow With Nothing But Weeds, There Is No Reason For Shutting Your Eyes And Seeing Nothing, Instead Of Finding What Beauty You May In The Weeds. To Put It Cynically, Life Is Too Short To Waste It In Drawing Blanks. Therefore, It Is Up To You To Find As Many Pictures To Put On Your Blank Pages As Possible.

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.

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.

Whenever Two People Come Together And Their Behavior Affects One Another, You Have Etiquette.
