Mind you, after your silly debutantes have finished their proper posture and walking lessons, tell them it never killed any young lady to remove the book from off the top of her head and open it for a change. Just like I taught you.

About This Quote

Mind you, after your silly debutantes have finished their proper posture and walking lessons, tell them it never killed any young lady to remove the book from off the top of her head and open it for a change. Just like I taught you. When people teach each other, they often do so in a very condescending way. It is common to look down on others' abilities and knowledge.

This quote speaks to how we can teach each other without such condescension. When we listen to what our elders have to say, we should not feel inferior or belittled.
