Knowledge, ability, experience, are of little avail in reaching high
success if courtesy be lacking. Courtesy is the one passport that will
be accepted without question in every land, in every office, in every
home, in every heart in the world. For nothing commends itself so well
as kindness; and courtesy is kindness.
- George D. Powers
