Deborah Ford Quotes

A Mother's Advice

Manners Matter, Regardless Of Your Position In Society. There Is No Excuse In This World To Practice Bad Manners, Especially At The Table. I Found That Out In High School. I Was Invited To My Boyfriend's House For Dinner. His Parents Were Somewhat Formal, And I Knew The Dinner Would Be "fancy," At Least In My Mind. My Family Wasn't Upper Class (or Even Middle Class), And My Mother Never Had What Would Be Called "social Graces."
Before I Left, My Mother Gave Me A Piece Of Advice: Hold Your Head High, Be Quiet, And Take The Lead From His Mother. Even Though I Was Scared To Death, I Did What My Mother Advised And Got Through The Experience With Flying Colors.
To This Day, My Mother's Advice Has Gotten Me Through Many Difficult Situations, Especially Ones That Are Totally New To Me! With My Mother's Simple Advice, I Know I Could Dine With The Queen Of England, Just By Following Her Lead. Thanks, Mother!
