Hair-splitting pettifoggery

I used to share your love of hair-splitting pettifoggery; but now is displeases me.

Control yourself

A man should sooner insult his friend than a stranger.

Pluck me out

If I offend Thee, pluck me out, oh Lord.

If I Offend Thee

Fran Lebowitz

"Metropolitan Life" ← !

Her prevailing mode is High Sardonic Low Brow-Beating.

But this quote is pure love:

"I think humor is warmer, and wit is colder. Wit is judgment, whereas humor invites some sort of response."

(Not sure that quote is from Metropolitan Life. Mostly I remember the High Sardonic Low Brow-Beating material.)
