“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, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.’  Well, for years I was smart.  I recommend pleasant.  You may quote me.” ~ “Elwood P. Dowd”, from the play “Harvey” by Mary Chase (1906 - 1981)
