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, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

James Stewart as Elwood P. Dowd,

I wish I had come up with that,

I am glad some one did..
