Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become
Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become
He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence
To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy, to inferiors nobleness
Life is not so short but that there is always time for courtesy
Credulity is the man's weakness, but the child's strength
Credulity is belief in slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence
Credulity is the common failing of inexperienced virtue and he who is spontaneously suspicious may justly be charged with radical corruption
I prefer credulity to skepticism and cynicism for there is more promise in almost anything than in nothing at all
