The Southern heart is too impulsive; Southern hospitality is too lavish with the stranger. - The Spirit of Tennessee Journalism - Mark Twain I've got high standards when it comes to boys. As my dad says, all girls should! I'm from the South - Tennessee, to be exact - and down there, we're all about southern hospitality. I know that if I like a guy, he better be nice, and above all, my dad has to approve of him! - Miley Cyrus I am proud to be a Southerner. I think Southern hospitality is very... I don't think it's just a term. I think it really exists. You can come to Savannah, and the people are so sweet and so nice. - Paula Deen It was always so hot, and everyone was so polite, and everything was all surface but underneath it was like a bomb waiting to go off. I always felt that way about the South, that beneath the smiles and southern hospitality and politeness were a lot of guns and liquor and secrets. - James Mcbride

What do you mean fainted? Took a dive, kissed the pavement. Swooned like a southern belle after her first kiss. Had a dreadful case of the vapors. - Ilona Andrews I swear," Nell said, walking faster, "you're looking at a life of hamburger and no yelling." She held the dachshund closer, and it sighed this time and put its head on her arm, and she stopped to look down into its eyes. "Hello," she said, and SugarPie stared back, pathetic and wide-eyed in the glow from the streetlight, her eyelashes fluttering like a Southern belle confronted by a Yankee. - Jennifer Crusie If you are the type who truly longs to be a Southern Belle at all times, regardless of taking twice the space available in bus, subway or elsewhere, you had best remove yourself to a large estate replete with servants. - Elizabeth Hawes She had abruptly flipped from the southern belle and was now putting on the extremely businesslike air of those perfectionist women who'd only worked i...

Yeah his being Sumerian to this group would go over like an Ozzy Osbourne/Marilyn Manson duet at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting. He might as well be wearing a shit that said "Kibbles and Bits," with a heavy emphasis on the "bits" part.. - Sherrilyn Kenyon The Sisters were Southern Baptist, and they went to church on Saturdays and Sundays, and most other days, too. - Kami Garcia I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God's eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews - everybody is created equally in the eyes of God. - Jimmy Carter I even went so far as to become a Southern Baptist for a while, until I realized that they didn't hold 'em under long enough. - Kinky Friedman I'm from the South. I'm a Southern Baptist. I have a conservative point of view. I'm a ...

I'm full of shit. I'm never myself. I've got a Southern accent around the oldsters; I'm a nerd for graphs and deep thoughts around you; I'm Miss Bubbly Pretty Princess with Colin. I'm nothing. The thing about chameleoning your way through life is that it gets to where nothing is real. - John Green He has the kind of Southern accent that makes you think of melting butter on biscuits, and porch swings. - Huntley Fitzpatrick I used to say that whenever people heard my Southern accent, they always wanted to deduct 100 IQ points. - Jeff Foxworthy I think that's what's great about being an actress is you get to learn so many different things like that, like learning a little bit of Tibetan here, learning a Southern accent there. - Jaime King I had a Southern accent but I had broken it so hard. - Josh Lucas What I knew for sure was that he had a quick temper, a cocky attitude, and a southern accent... Apparently he also has a pet cougar. - Stacy Mantle T...
