“Always
there where children die
stone and star
and so many dreams
become homeless.”
― Nelly Sachs, Collected Poems I

“Manners are the lubricating oil of an organization. It is a law of nature that two moving bodies in contact with each other create friction. This is as true for human beings as it is for inanimate objects. Manners- simple things like saying 'please' and 'thank you' and knowing a person’s name or asking after her family enable two people to work together whether they like each other or not. Bright people, especially bright young people, often do not understand this. If analysis shows that someone’s brilliant work fails again and again as soon as cooperation from others is required, it probably indicates a lack of courtesy – that is, a lack of manners.”
― Peter Drucker

“We're thinking too much about educating the mind, and forgetting about the heart and soul.”
― Marshall Saunders, Beautiful Joe An Autobiography of a Dog

“A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.”
― Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal
