Grownups have to say 'please,' too.

I find it upsetting to see the erosion of manners. It's very scary. Where are the 'pleases' and 'thank yous?'

If my mother hadn't encouraged me, I would be nervous and feeling like I'm doing something wrong.

I was an adopted child of my grandparents, and I don't know how I can ever express my gratitude for that, because my parents would have been a mess, you know.

I think it's the easiest thing in the world to be friendly and say 'please' and 'thank you.' I try and remember it and use it.

My mother always told me it wasn't polite to ask what people make.

I wish to thank my parents for making it all possible... and I wish to thank my children for making it necessary.

I would forgive my mom, but she's going to have to admit she did some things that were wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen, my mother thanks you, my father thanks you, my sister thanks you, and I thank you!
