Never think, because you cannot write a letter easily, that it is better not to write at all. The most awkward note imaginable is better than none.

Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory.

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.

Good manners reflect something from inside-an innate sense of consideration for others and respect for self.

When I get to first base, I start thinking about third.

God sometimes takes us into troubles waters not to drown us, but to cleanse us.

In the film, I'm not very mobile, like in the space suit.

I earned the name from the Greek god Zelos who is the god of rivalry.
