Quotes
Tact is the ability to make a person see lightning without letting him feel the bolt.
Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart.
I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being; let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
