Manhood is melted into courtesies, valor into compliment, and men are only turned into tongue, and trim ones, too.

O'Connor, Flannery

29.

The test of good manners is to be able to put up pleasantly with bad ones.
Willkie, Wendell L.

43.
Manners are the happy way of doing things; each once a stroke of genius or of love --now repeated and hardened into usage. They form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dewdrops which give such depth to the morning meadows.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
