Quote 30
"The louder he talked of his honour, the faster we counted our spoons." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
This quote just makes me smile at my mental picture of a slick looking man talking loudly while his hostess is furiously thumbing through the silver. The underlying truth of the quote that I like is the idea that if something is true about you, that should be evident from the way you act not how much you talk about it!
