Cytat

Do celu tam się wysiada. Lec Stanisław Jerzy (pierw. de Tusch-Letz, 1909-1966)
A bogowie grają w kości i nie pytają wcale czy chcesz przyłączyć się do gry (. . . ) Bogowie kpią sobie z twojego poukładanego życia (. . . ) nie przejmują się zbytnio ani naszymi planami na przyszłość ani oczekiwaniami. Gdzieś we wszechświecie rzucają kości i przypadkiem wypada twoja kolej. I odtąd zwyciężyć lub przegrać - to tylko kwestia szczęścia. Borys Pasternak
Idąc po kurzych jajach nie podskakuj. Przysłowie szkockie
I Herkules nie poradzi przeciwko wielu.
Dialog półinteligentów równa się monologowi ćwierćinteligenta. Stanisław Jerzy Lec (pierw. de Tusch - Letz, 1909-1966)

Nor should a bright, observing child beencouraged to pick out other people s failings, or to tell her motherhow inferior other children are compared with herself.If she wins arace or a medal or is praised, she naturally tells her mother, and hermother naturally rejoices with her, and it is proper that she should;but a wise mother directs her child s mental attitude to appreciate thefact that arrogance, selfishness and conceit can win no place worthhaving in the world.30CHILDREN AT AFTERNOON TEAA custom in many fashionable houses is to allow children as soon asthey are old enough, to come into the drawing-room or library at tea-time, as nothing gives them a better opportunity to learn how tobehave in company.Little boys are always taught to bow to visitors;little girls to curtsy.Small boys are taught to place the individualtables, hand plates and tea, and pass sandwiches and cakes.If thereare no boys, girls perform this office; very often they both do.Wheneverybody has been helped, the children are perhaps allowed a pieceof cake, which they put on a tea-plate, and sit down, and eat nicely.But as the tea-hour is very near their supper time, they are oftenallowed nothing, and after making themselves useful, go out of theroom again.If many people are present and the children are notspoken to, they leave the room unobtrusively and quietly.If only oneor two are present, especially those whom the children know well,they shake hands, and say Good-by, and walk (not run) out of theroom.31This is one of the ways in which well-bred people become used fromchildhood to instinctive good manners.Unless they are spoken to,they would not think of speaking or making themselves noticed inGet any book for free on: www.Abika.comETIQUETTE IN SOCIETY, IN BUSINESS, IN POLITICS AND AT HOME444they would not think of speaking or making themselves noticed inany way.Very little children who have not reached the age of discretion, which may be placed at about five, possibly not untilsix, usually go in the drawing-room at tea-time only when nearrelatives or intimate friends of the family are there.Needless to saythat they are always washed and dressed.Some children wear specialafternoon clothes, but usually the clean clothes put on at tea-time goon again the next morning, except the thin socks and house slipperswhich are reserved for the evening hour of their day.32CHILDREN S PARTIESA small girl (or boy) giving a party should receive with her motherat the door and greet all her friends as they come in.If it is herbirthday and other children bring her gifts, she must say Thank youpolitely.On no account must she be allowed to tell a child I hatedolls, if a friend has brought her one [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
