Otis/people

Famous quotes containing the words otis and/or people:

    That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.
    —Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)

    Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves. A man must have a good share of wit himself to endure a great share of it in another.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
