“If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.”

“Perhaps the basic thing which contributes to charm is the ability to forget oneself and be engrossed in other people.”

“True hospitality consists of giving the best of yourself to your guests.”

“For a host, above all, must be kind to his guests.”

“Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.”

“Two women seldom grow intimate but at the expense of a third person.”

“The problem with having a sense of humor is often that people you use it on aren't in a very good mood.”

“The way to deal with worldly people is to frighten them by repeating their scandalous whisperings aloud.”
