A gentleman does not boast about his junk.

Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor.

Manners are made up of trivialities of deportment which can be easily learned if one does not happen to know them.

Good manners reflect something from inside-an innate sense of consideration for others and respect for self.

The only occasion when the traditions of courtesy permit a hostess to help herself before a woman guest is when she has reason to believe the food is poisoned.

Whenever two people come together and their behavior affects one another, you have etiquette.

The natural impulses of every thoroughbred include his sense of honor; his love of fair play and courage; his dislike of pretense and of cheapness.
