Nearly half a century after her death, Emily Post is still a name that is synonymous with manners and perfect etiquette. Her books and newspaper columns on this topic spanned a wide array of events from formal weddings to simple table manners. Well…maybe they’re not so “simple” considering they cover even the slightest details such as how to “hold a spoon“. But whether or not you find her helpful tips on how to be a proper lady or gentleman to be a tad too much, there is no denying however the fact that she definitely got it right with the following quote.
Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.
What a beautiful reminder! Not that you guys need a reminder, of course. SuperForesters are among the most “mannerly” people I know. :)
With love,
Carla
