Image
Manners are not idle, but the fruit of loyal and of noble mind.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
Manners are one of the greatest engines of influence ever given to man.
Richard Whately
Image
Manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Manners are just a formal expression of how you treat people.
Molly Ivins
Image
Manners must adorn knowledge and smooth its way in the world, without them it is like a great rough diamond, very well in a closet by way of curiosity, and also for its intrinsic value but most prized when polished.
Lord Chesterfield
Image
Manners, boy. I'll beat them into you if I have to.
Lori Foster
Image
Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Manners easily and rapidly mature into morals.
Horace Mann
Image
Manners are of such great consequence to the novelist that any kind will do. Bad manners are better than no manners at all, and because we are losing our customary manners, we are probably overly conscious of them this seems to be a condition that produces writers.
Flannery O'Connor
Image
Manners carry the world for the moment, character for all time.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
Manners is the key thing. Say, for instance, when you're growing up, you're walking down the street, you've got to tell everybody good morning. Everybody. You can't pass one person.
Usain Bolt
Image
Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe.
Edmund Burke
Image
Manners will become important to children only if they are important to their parents.
Thomas Lickona
Image
Manners are the basic building blocks of civil society.
Alexander McCall Smith
Image
Manners are love in a cool climate.
Quentin Crisp
Image
Manners are a way of getting what you want without appearing to be an absolute swine.
Quentin Crisp
Image
Manners make the fortune of the ambitious youth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Manners are manners. Jimmy Connors and Ilie Nastase have no respect. I don't want my kid seeing Nastase play. The demeanor you show on the court is important to tennis.... Maybe we (yesterday's stars) were too stereotyped. But we were told to behave or they'd take our racket away.
Rod Laver
Image
Manners are the happy ways of doing things each once a stroke of genius or of love, now repeated and hardened into usage.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Manners. Manners will get you through anything.
Ronan Farrow
Image
Manners have been somewhat cynically defined to be a contrivance of wise men to keep fools at a distance. Fashion is shrewd to detect those who do not belong to her train, and seldom wastes her attentions. Society is very swift in its instincts, and if you do not belong to it, resists and sneers at you, or quietly drops you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Manners,[...] are severly underappreciated in my opinion. Oh? Where practiced well, they remove the probability that someone in my position will be forced to go through the effort of killing someone in yours. Belive that on occasion that much death can become tedious.
Michelle Sagara
Image
Manners are the root, laws only the trunk and branches. Manners are the archetypes of laws. Manners are laws in their infancy laws are manners fully grown,--or, manners are children, which, when they grow up, become laws.
Horace Mann
Image
Manners are especially the need of the plain. The pretty can get away with anything.
Evelyn Waugh
