Never do anything that is unpleasant to others.

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

Manners are like primary colors, there are certain rules and once you have these you merely mix, i.e., adapt, them to meet changing situations.

A lady never asks a gentleman to dance, or to go to supper with her.

No rule of etiquette is of less importance than which fork we use.

Alas! it is true: "Be polite to bores and so shall you have bores always round about you."

The eleventh commandment, "Thou shalt not be found out" is despicable, but nevertheless, it is the one thing you can never get away from.
