Etiquette: In Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home Quotes

Nothing hurts the feelings of children more than not being allowed to behave like grown persons when they think they are able.”

“Nothing appeals to children more than justice, and they should be taught in the nursery to "play fair" in games, to respect each other's property and rights, to give credit to others, and not to take too much credit to themselves.”
