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, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."

Well, for years I was smart.

I recommend pleasant.

And you may quote me.

Spoken by James Stewart as the character Elwood P. Dowd in the 1950 film "Harvey"
