If you don't eat butter, it is an insult; if you eat too much, she will make your ears burn after you have left.

It is a regulator of society; it is a civilizer; it is a luxury and a delicacy that must be touched and handled with care and courtesy on all occasions.

Should you desire to get on the good side of a lady, just give a broad, sweeping, slathering compliment to her butter.
It beats kissing the dirty-faced baby; it beats anything.

Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the butter, be it good, bad, or indifferent to your notions of things, but to her, her butter is always good, superior, excellent.

I did not know this characteristic of the human female at the time, or I would have taken a delicate slice of the butter.
