Emily Post — American Author born on October 27, 1872, died on September 25, 1960

Emily Post was an American author famous for writing about etiquette... (wikipedia)

Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.

To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a 'home' might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.

Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory.

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