This week the theme is truth and it was interesting reading the quotes – and asking myself at the same time – do I believe this, is it truth?
One thing I’ve learned that seems to hold true for me around the topic of truth is this:
When I get my feelings hurt because of something someone [...]
Truth is better than ego.

Wisdom is a journey
Our last quote for this short Thanksgiving week comes from Whittaker Chambers who said, “True wisdom comes from the overcoming of suffering and sin. All true wisdom is therefore touched with sadness.”
I selected this quote because many of us are going to be getting together with family and friends and sometimes there has been some [...]
Continual path to wisdom
Today’s quote comes from Charles Caleb Colton who said, “There is this difference between happiness and wisdom, that he that thinks himself the happiest man, really is so; but he that thinks himself the wisest, is generally the greatest fool.”
I liked this one because as I seek wisdom I am continually reminded that I am [...]
There’s a lesson in there somewhere
This is a short week – the week of Thanksgiving and as I was contemplating themes – what I had scheduled and then what I wanted to share for our three days – it came to my mind to share quotes around wisdom. This is something I continually seek and something I’m grateful for – [...]
Do you test your manners?
To end our week on manners we go to Wendell Willkie who said a great truth, “The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.”

Happy manners!
Ralph Waldo Emerson said this, “Manners are the happy ways of doing things; each one a stroke of genius or of love, now repeated and hardened into usage.”
It made me happy to read “Manners are the happy ways of doing things.” Isn’t that a great way to look at it? Saying “Please” and “Thank you” [...]
How do you behave in a quarrel?
Today we have another great quote on manners from George Bernard Shaw who said, “The test of a man or woman’s breeding is how they behave in a quarrel.”
This got me to thinking – how am I in an argument? Am I fair, do I listen? One thing I’ve come to realize is that I [...]
Subtle manners
Today’s quote is a favorite and moves past the situations of our fairly frantic days, it’s from George Bernard Shaw who said, “The great secret is not having bad manners or good manners or any other particular sort of manners, but having the same manner for all human souls; in short, behaving as if you [...]
Do manners really matter?
This weeks theme is manners – something I know a lot about having taught etiquette, finishing, and fashion for over 3 decades. Wow, that sounds like such a long time!
I’ve noticed that though the rules of etiquette have changed, manners remain constant; manners are about us, our view of the world and others. It’s how [...]
