There is a big deposit of sympathy in the bank of love, but don’t draw out little sums every hour or so-so that by and by, when perhaps you need it badly, it is all drawn out and you yourself don’t know how or on what it was spent. —Etiquette Emily
Emily Post 1873–1960, American authority on etiquette, b. Baltimore. Born into a wealthy family, Post began her literary career as a novelist. Her best-known book, however, is Etiquette (1922), a practical guide to proper social behavior, written in a lively style. Etiquette gained wide popularity and sold over a million copies; the 12th and subsequent revised editions were edited by Post’s granddaughter-in-law, Elizabeth L. Post. Emily Post broadcast on the radio after 1931 and produced a daily column on good taste that was syndicated in more than 200 newspapers.—Columbia Encyclopedia Pronunciation: p from The American Heritage®
