Made me think of this line by Elwood P. Dowd from Harvey:

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

Susan :-)

I suppose Elwood in "Harvey" could be an early version of Forest Gump but James Stewart always wins hands down & he's friends with a rabbit who is six feet, three and a half inches tall called Harvey.

Well, Rose.....putting it your way, I suppose I prefer to be liked because if you like someone, you must have respect for them or you wouldn't like them.

I must have respect, but prefer it to come from being liked, not feared.

Dear me, RR.....and all this from chopping up mint!....Don't start crushing garlic, will you?
