MANNERS QUOTES

Service without humility is selfishness and egotism. 

The more refined one is, the more unhappy.

Clothes and manners do not make the man, but where he is made they greatly improve his appearance

Generosity, pleasing address, courage and propriety of conduct are not acquired, but are inbred qualities.

We should always speak what would please the man of whom we expect a favor, like the hunter who sings sweetly when he desires to shoot a deer.

Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength

Discretion is the best form of calculation.

Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.

But that is one great difference between us. Compliments always take you by surprise, and me never.

For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors and laugh at them in our turn?
