About this Quote

This quote by George S. Kaufman is a humorous way of expressing the concept that when somebody is invited to supper, they must be grateful and not expect anything in return.

Rather, he suggests that the lady must merely appreciate of the invitation and want to look at his face in return. This quote is a reminder that often the best method to show gratitude is simply to be present and to reveal gratitude. It also serves as a suggestion that in some cases the best method to reveal gratitude is to just be present and to reveal appreciation. Eventually, this quote is a reminder that in some cases the very best method to show gratitude is to simply exist and to show thankfulness.
