Manners are made up of trivialities of deportment which can be easily learned if one does not happen to know them; manner is personality - the outward manifestation of one's innate character and attitude toward life.... Etiquette must, if it is to be of more than trifling use, include ethics as well as manners. Certainly what one is, is of far greater importance than what one appears to be.

A gentleman should never take his hat off with a flourish.

"Keep your hands to yourself!" might almost be put at the head of the first chapter of every book on etiquette.

An overdose of praise is like 10 lumps of sugar in coffee; only a very few people can swallow it.

It is impossible for a hatless woman to be chic.

Manner is personality—the outward manifestation of one’s innate character and attitude toward life.

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