Eating, Drinking, Etc.

Eating, Drinking, Etc. (Index)

Close your mouth when you eat. Drink moderately. Tip well. This is not brain surgery.

 

I have resolved from this day on, I will do all the business I can honestly, have all the fun I can reasonably, do all the good I can willingly, and save my digestion by thinking pleasantly.


~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Scottish Novelist

I respect the social graces enormously. How to pass the food. Don't yell from one room to another. Don't go through a closed door without a knock. Open the doors for the ladies. All these millions of simple household behaviors make for a better life. We can't live in constant rebellion against our parents - it's just silly. I'm very well mannered. It's not an abstract thing. It's a shared language of expectations.


~ Jack Nicholson
American Actor
