"The true snob never rests; there is always a higher goal to attain, and there are, by the same token..." — Russell Lynes

A lady is nothing very specific. One man's lady is another man's woman; sometimes, one man's lady is another man's wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.

In my estimation, the only thing that is more to be guarded against than bad taste is good taste.

It is always well to accept your own shortcomings with candor but to regard those of your friends with polite incredulity.

A truly appreciative child will break, lose, spoil, or fondle to death any really successful gift within a matter of minutes.
