| Parents must get across the idea that I love you always, but sometimes I do not love your behavior. |
| Everyone knows that a man can always marry even if he reaches 102, is penniless, and has all his faculties gone. There is always some woman willing to take a chance on him. (from the Complete Book of Etiquette, 1952) |
| The modern rule is that every woman should be her own chaperon. |
| Do not speak of repulsive matters at table. |
| Do not smoke without asking permission or sit so near (as in a train) that the smoke might annoy. |
