“It is difficult to give a recipe for successful conversation. But it would certainly include three fundamentals. Assemble good ingredients, mix and spice with your own thinking, and serve attractively.
To assemble the ingredients, read. Read lots of different things. Read newspapers that express a viewpoint contrary to your own; read periodicals that have thoughtful, provocative articles; read books that tell of places and persons of current interest; read fiction, of course, but not to the exclusion of all other things.”

“Try to get inside the skins of others. Think how they feel, how they react, and guide your own conduct by that.”

“Never be afraid of doing the wrong thing. Whatever is courteous and pleasant is bound to be right. And, once and forever, discard the notion that people are watching you to see whether or not you are being correct. Do you watch others and pick flaws in their behavior? Of course you don't. Who cares?”
