Emily Post Quotes

A gentleman should never take his hat off with a flourish Picture Quote #1
The most vulgar slang is scarcely worse than the attempted elegance which those unused to good society imagine to be the evidence of cultivation Picture Quote #1
The fact that slang is apt and forceful makes its use irresistibly tempting. Coarse or profane slang is beside the mark, but flivver, taxi, the movies, deadly (meaning dull), feeling fit, feeling blue, grafter, a fake, grouch, hunch and right o! are typical of words that it would make our spoken language stilted to exclude Picture Quote #1
Custom is a mutable thing; yet we readily recognize the permanence of certain social values. Graciousness and courtesy are never old-fashioned Picture Quote #1
The fault of bad taste is usually in over-dressing. Quality not effect, is the standard to seek for Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1

No rule of etiquette is of less importance than which fork we use Picture Quote #1
The joy of joys is the person of light but unmalicious humor Picture Quote #1
Whenever two people come together and their behavior affects one another, you have etiquette Picture Quote #1
Jealousy is the suspicion of one’s own inferiority Picture Quote #1
To do exactly as your neighbors do is the only sensible rule Picture Quote #1

A gentleman does not boast about his junk Picture Quote #1
There is no reason why you should be bored when you can be otherwise. But if you find yourself sitting in the hedgerow with nothing but weeds, there is no reason for shutting your eyes and seeing nothing, instead of finding what beauty you may in the weeds. To put it cynically, life is too short to waste it in drawing blanks. Therefore, it is up to you to find as many pictures to put on your blank pages as possible Picture Quote #1
Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
The good guest is almost invisible, enjoying him or herself, communing with fellow guests, and, most of all, enjoying the generous hospitality of the hosts Picture Quote #1
A little praise is not only merest justice but is beyond the purse of no one Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
In popular houses where visitors like to go again and again, there is always a happy combination of some attention on the part of the hostess and the perfect freedom of the guests to occupy their time as they choose Picture Quote #1
She must not swing her arms as though they were dangling ropes; she must not switch herself this way and that; she must not shout; and she must not, while wearing her bridal veil, smoke a cigarette Picture Quote #1
Golf is a particularly severe strain upon the amiability of the average person’s temper, and in no other game, except bridge, is serenity of disposition so essential Picture Quote #1
The only occasion when the traditions of courtesy permit a hostess to help herself before a woman guest is when she has reason to believe the food is poisoned Picture Quote #1
The natural impulses of every thoroughbred include his sense of honor; his love of fair play and courage; his dislike of pretense and of cheapness Picture Quote #1
To make a pleasant and friendly impression is not only good manners, but equally good business Picture Quote #1
Advertisements
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 Picture Quote #1
Manners are like primary colors, there are certain rules and once you have these you merely mix, i.e., adapt, them to meet changing situations Picture Quote #1
Manners are made up of trivialities of deportment which can be easily learned if one does not happen to know them Picture Quote #1
An overdose of praise is like 10 lumps of sugar in coffee; only a very few people can swallow it Picture Quote #1
