Additional quotes by Alice Duer Miller
People love to talk but hate to listen....Listening is not merely not talking, though even that is beyond most of our powers; it means taking a vigorous, human interest in what’s being told us....You can listen like a blank wall or like a splendid auditorium where every sound comes back fuller and richer.

It's treating a woman politely </br> As long as she isn't a fright: </br> It's guarding the girls who act rightly, </br> If you can be judge of what's right; </br> It's being—not just, but so pleasant; </br> It's tipping while wages are low; </br> It's making a beautiful present, </br> And failing to pay what you owe.
