Perdonare forse, dimenticare mai. This is my favorite quote.

I don’t dislike him. I just don’t like him, which is quite different!

I could put down just about anything the Dowager Violet said, but this is a good one:
“You know me…Never complain, never explain.”
Mary
Just like “friends”, I never watched an episode while it was a series. So it goes with Downton Abbey. But my husband is British, I think he would love this humour. So I’ll have to figure out how to ‘get’ the series. Here is the quote that amused me…
“No guest should be admitted without the date of their departure settled.”
Great contest.
Margie
Sorry I never watched it. I could see that the clothes were fantastic. My favorite quilting quote is “happy quilting”

“Stop whining and find something to do!” to which I’ll add one of my Mother’s: “Standing about like that…are you posing for holy pictures?”
Janet Smith
“I wonder your halo doesn’t grow heavy. It must be like wearing a tiara round the clock.” LOVE Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess quips! And Downton Abbey fabric. I already have some of the Lady Mary line.

Being a dairy farmer’s wife and often inwardly bristling when people wished me a good weekend, I smiled when the Dowager asked, “What’s a weekend?”

Violet: “I am never wrong.”

Lady Mary announces “I’m going upstairs to take off my hat.” as if it was a major event of her day.

I loved it when the dowager countess remarked that she was entitled to have an argument, she just wasn’t entitled to win one. Thanks so much for sharing

Gotta go with “What is a week-end?”

I would have to say “What’s a weekend?” I am a wife of a retired dairy farmer and have a cake decorating business. Cows don’t take weekends off and most people need fancy cakes on the weekends! Thank you for the generous giveaway!c
Margaret
“Never you mind. We’re sisters and sisters have secrets.” Loved this quote because it signified to me that Mary finally “gets” being a sister, being part of that special group!
Wasn’t the final episode just perfect? I love happy endings.
judy parsons
Don’t remember exact wording but it is when Mr. Barrows is asked to come back to be butler and they say the old guard (Carson) will still be there. Cried

Lord Crawley to Matthew; “We all have our part to play”, while they were discussing Matthews desire to do without having a valet, and in the bigger pictures of country life, that would be denying a man his job and opportunity in life….

Mary can be such a child. She thinks when you put a toy down, it’ll still be sitting there when you want to play wit it again. .by Robert, Earl of Grantham
