How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
Ronald Reagan
Well said. Nearly all the 'privileged' people I know make others feel comfortable. It's nearly always 'climbers' that haven't mastered that yet.
Here are 2 of the best compliments I've received, though I've never been what I would consider 'classy':
"I know you have a lot of education, but you don't make me feel like I don't have enough to argue with you."
~Given to me by a parent who is an immigrant.
"You are the only friend I have that doesn't make me feel 'poor' because I can't do the stuff everyone else is doing."
~Given to me by a friend when her husband lost his job in the 80's and her daughters were 1 & 3. At the time I was married and we were doing well. Only acquaintances, she'd called me when her car engine caught fire while driving her older daughter to preschool. She couldn't afford the tow. I picked her up, drove the daughter to school, and got the car towed. We spent lots of time at both our houses with the kids playing. She's helped me out so many times since then.
"I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is."

In 100 years no one will remember you, unless your really sme big time figure that gona be historical and we just don't know.
My childern, grandchildren and hopefully, greatgrandchildren will remember me. They will tell stories of how classy I was and so my memory will go on long after your stuff has been landfilled.
