It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.
Arthur SchopenhauerTags: manners politeness rudeness
Good manners have much to do with the emotions. To make them ring true, one must feel them, not merely exhibit them.
Amy VanderbiltTags: manners emotions etiquette good-manners
A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.
Robert A. HeinleinThe world was my oyster but I used the wrong fork.
Oscar WildeLife is short, but there is always time enough for courtesy.
Ralph Waldo EmersonTags: manners
I'm making a list
I'm making a list of things I must say
For politeness,
And goodness and kindness and gentleness
Sweetness and rightness:
Hello
Pardon me
How are you?
Excuse me
Bless you
May I?
Thank you
Goodbye
If you know some that I've forgot,
Please stick them in you eye!
Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.
Emily PostTags: manners
The real test of good manners is to be able to put up with bad manners pleasantly.
Kahlil GibranTags: manners
Manners are the ability to put someone else at their ease...by turning any answer into another question.
Tina BrownTags: manners etiquette conversation
Always speak politely to an enraged dragon.
