SNOBBERY “JUST A POINT IN TIME”
During an intermission at a party some prominent business men were discussing an absent member. Few could find anything pleasant to say about the person in question. One guest, who had worked his way to success up the ladder of many mistakes and failures, said: “That reminds me of about 20 words I once memorised from Dr. Isaac Goldberg’s ‘Tin Pan Alley’; ‘Snobbery is but a point in time. Let us have patience with our inferiors. They are ourselves of yesterday.”
