Etiquette and “B”-ing

Be Plucky. The faint-hearted rarely know what it is to win place and power.

A Swarm of Household B's

in Six Brief Texts and a Half-Dozen Short Sermons

1. Be Honest. “Honesty is the best policy,” Quixotically speaking.
2. Be Plucky. The faint-hearted rarely know what it is to win place and power.
3. Be Earnest. Be earnest in doing good and just as earnest in not doing anything bad.
4. Be Watchful of yourself as well as of others, for “all will bear watching.”
5. Be Patient, and don't allow impatient folks to draw away your own stock of patience.
6. Be Content. If “a contented mind is a continual feast,” be careful not to go hungry from discontent. — Good Housekeeping, 1895
