If you want....

....to be popular, go to charm school. Learn how to make others like you by showing them how much you like them. Don't just find some way to tolerate the people who annoy you; suffer fools gladly. Smile a lot. And if you don't care whether you are popular or not? Do all this anyway. It's polite. And it's good for you.
  







But stop short of accepting what you ought to reject or betraying what you know you must protect.

The true meaning of being misled is to believe oneself finer than the others.  

(Francois de La Rochefoucauld)
