"All doors open to courtesy."

Thomas Fuller, English Clergyman

Courtesy, Open

"I sometimes get the feeling that he was less pleased by kindness itself than by the elegance of the gesture."

Donna Tartt, American Novelist

Courtesy, Kindness, Aesthetics, Behavior, Observation

"It is unimpressive to interrupt another person while they are talking. Interrupting someone in mid-sentence demonstrates that your focus is on yourself, not the person talking. I had a friend who used a humorous retort whenever someone would interrupt him. He would graciously, albeit sarcastically, say, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to speak while you were interrupting. It always got a laugh, yet he was cleverly letting the intruder know of his infraction without being too confrontational."

Susan C. Young, American Author

"It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it."

"A man worth his salt will treat a lady like a lady and make the effort to be a gentleman. While independent women are fully capable of being self-reliant, the majority whom I know appreciate being treated with respect, consideration, and chivalry. For the women who yearn for the old-fashioned, good-hearted, chivalrous guy, I promise, they do exist."

Susan C. Young, American Author
