Things well fitted abide.
A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard
I'm big on what's in good taste.
As players we have to be careful what we put out there and make sure everything we do is appropriate. And it is not always easy.
Those expressions are omitted which can not with propriety be read aloud in the family.
The issue here isn't whether every student is brainwashed, it's whether it is appropriate.
There is a time and a place for things. Sometimes one needs to put a filter on oneself. That can be a good thing.

Good taste consists first upon fitness.
Wearing the correct dress for any occasion is a matter of good manners.
I think that carrying on a life that is meant to be private in public is a breach of taste, common sense, and mental hygiene.
It would never occur to me not to look dreadful if that's the job description.
Acting from the appropriateness of the heart, we are freed from the neediness of the mind.
As a sensible actor, I can easily judge which scene looks vulgar and which will look aesthetic.
