“Decency cannot be discussed without indecency!”
“Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood.”
“Summaries without background or study will lead to discussions without understanding.”
“The hand that gives is among the hand that takes. Money has no fatherland, financiers are without patriotism and without decency, their sole object is gain.”
“Neighbors are the most indecent sort of folk around. Nothing but voyeurs and gossipers. As a community we would be much better off without them.”
“Discussion keeps a house alive. It cannot stand by bricks and mortar alone.”
