Proud to be Old School.


Yes, I’m old school. I have good manners, I show others respect and I will always help those who need me. It’s not because I’m old fashioned, it’s because I was raised properly.

I was self taught, I was raised by older parents who came from a time when not everyone was treated with respect. I took it upon myself to be kind to all.

“Good manners reflect something from inside – an innate sense of consideration for others and respect for self.” Emily Post

“Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Be polite, say hello, offer to help, hold the door, smile, pay a compliment, use please and thank you.”

“The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.” Wendell Willkie

“Good manners and kindness are always in fashion.”
“A parent can give a child no greater gift than beautiful manners.” Hakim

“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.”

When trust is broken


When trust is broken, sorry means nothing.

Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters. - Albert Einstein

“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you. - Friedrich Nietzsche

“It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.

“The trust has broken down. It will take some time to change attitudes and attitudes are going to be needed to develop trust - Jim Leach

“Rebuilding trust when it's been broken is not dependent only on the person who has broken it, or how many times they can prove they are honest. It depends on the person who has decided not to trust anymore. Though they may be totally justified in their decision not to trust, as long as they choose not to, the relationship has no hope of survival and should be ended. If or when they decide to trust again, there is hope reborn - Doe Zantamata

“I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken, and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken pieces as long as I lived ~ Margaret Mitchell

“We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy
