In great matters, men behave as they are expected to; in little ones, as they would naturally

Men in all societies possess the biological equipment to remove their hats or shoes, but it is the birth within a particular culture that decides that a Jew will keep his hat and shoes on in his place of worship, a Mohammedan will take off his shoes, and a Christian will keep his shoes on but remove his hat.

Man can be conditioned to behave in almost every desired way; but only "almost."

Behavior is a mirror in which every one displays his own image.

There are jus times when you can't let the right thing stand in yo way.

When, in the present world, men behave well, that is no doubt sometimes because they are creatures of habit as well as, sometimes, because they are reasonable.

We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold.

Then George F. Babbitt did a dismaying thing. He wiped his face in the guest towel!

He was deferential, ingratiating, concerned for your pleasure, like a waiter with a tray of French pastry in his hand.

It's one thing for a man not to know, not to have learned; it's another not to be able to live by what one does know.
