I don’t recall your name but your manners are familiar.
Oliver Herford (1863-1935) American poet, illustrator.
Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices.
Unruly manners of ill-timed applause
Wrong the best speaker or the justest cause.
Alexander Pope (1688-1744) English Poet.
Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
Mark Twain (1835-1910) American author.
The society of women is the foundation of good manners.
Manhood is meted into courtesies, valour into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue.
If a person has no delicacy, he ahs you in his power.
William Hazlitt (1778-1830) English essayist.
I have always been of the mind that in a democracy manners are the only effective weapons against the bowie-knife.
James Russell Lowell (1819-1891) American poet, editor.
The highest perfection of politeness is only a beautiful edifice, built, from the base to the dome, of ungraceful and glided forms of charitable and unselfish lying.
Mark Twain (1835-1910) American author.
Good manners is the art of making those people easy with whom we converse; whoever makes the fewest persons uneasy, is the best bred man in company.
Swift.
Good manners are the settled medium of social, as specie is of commercial, life; returns are equally expected from both; and people will no more advance their civility to a bear than their money to a bankrupt.
Chesterfield.
Rules of conduct, whatever they may be, are not sufficient to produce good results unless the ends sought are good.
Bertrand Russell.
Always behave as if nothing has happened no matter what has happened.
Arnold Bennett.
No man is a true gentleman who does not inspire the affection and devotion of his servants.
Andrew Carnegie.
Good manners are the small coin of virtue.
Women of England.
Manners are the shadows of virtues; the momentary display of those qualities which our fellow creatures love and respect. If we strive to become, then, what we strive to become, then, what we strive to appear, manners may often be rendered useful guides to the performance of our duties.
Sydney smith.
Manners are minor morals.
Paley.
Cultured and fine manners are everywhere a passport to regard.
Good manners are the blossom of good sense and good feeling. If the law of kindness be written in the heart, it will lead to that disinterestedness in both great and little things that desire to oblige, and that attention to the gratification of others, which are the foundation of good manners.
A man, whose great qualities want the ornament of exterior attractions, is like a naked mountain with mines of gold, which will be frequented only till the treasure is exhausted.
Johnson.
The manner of saying or of doing anything goes a great way in the value of the thing itself. It was well said of him that called a good office, if done harshly and with an ill will, a stony piece of bread; “It is necessary for him that is hungry to receive it, but it almost chokes a man in the going down.”
Seneca.
Defect in manners is usually the defect of fine perceptions. Elegance comes of no breeding, but of birth.
Emerson.
Grace is to the body, what good sense is to the mind.
Rochefoucauld.
Manner is everything with some people, and something with everybody.
Bp. Middleton.
There is not any benefit so glorious in itself, but it may yet be exceedingly sweetened and improved by the manner of conferring it. The virtue rests in the intent; the profit in the judicious application of the matter, but the beauty and ornament if an obligation lies to the manner of it.
Seneca.
