More on Manners
“We hear a great deal about the rudeness of the rising generation. I am an oldster myself and might be expected to take the oldsters' side, but in fact I have been far more impressed by the bad manners of parents to children than by those of children to parents.”
“Manners are very communicable: men catch them from each other.”
“The basis of good manners is self-reliance. Necessity is the law of all who are not self-possessed.”
More on Women
“Men have hitherto treated women like birds which have strayed down to them from the heights; as something more delicate, more fragile, more savage, stranger, sweeter, soulful--but as something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away.”
“I'll bet you the time ain't far off when a woman won't know any more than a man.”
“The common foible of women who have been handsome is to forget that they are no longer so.”
