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

Nothing appeals to children more than justice, and they should be taught in the nursery to "play fair" in games, to respect each other's property and rights, to give credit to others, and not to take too much credit to themselves.

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

To tell a lie in cowardice, to tell a lie for gain, or to avoid deserved punishment--are all the blackest of black lies.

The fault of bad taste is usually in over-dressing. Quality not effect, is the standard to seek for.

Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others.

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