» Conscience » “The chief prerequisite for a escort is to have a flexible conscience and an inflexible politeness.”
» Genius » “Genius is the gold in the mine; talent is the miner who works and brings it out.”
» Humor » “We never respect those who amuse us, however we may smile at their comic powers.”
» Love » “Love matches are made by people who are content, for a month of honey, to condemn themselves to a life of vinegar.”
