He only shot one person, Nick remarked. But the night is young. . . . Forgive him, he has no manners. I get by on good looks, Nick said.
Sarah Rees Brennan
Image
A man who opens a door for a woman or gives up his seat for her-even offering to carry something! Those are country manners that never go out of style.
Andie MacDowell
Image
This variety of objects will suspend, for some time, the course of the narrative but the interruption will be censured only by those readers who are insensible to the importance of laws and manners, while they peruse, with eager curiosity, the transient intrigues of a court, or the accidental event of a battle.
Edward Gibbon
Image
I don't approve of censorship. I like the French theatre idea. Put on the play, and if the audience doesn't care for it, or feels offended by it, they rip up the seats.
John Huston
Image
A man's worth is estimated in this world according to his conduct.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
I may have been a complete lunatic, but I was a complete lunatic with manners.
Maureen Johnson
Image
I really think next to the consciousness of doing a good action, that of doing a civil one is the most pleasing and the epithet which I should covet the most next to that of Aristides, would be that of well-bred.
Lord Chesterfield
Image
The etiquette of intimacy is very different from the etiquette of formality, but manners are not just something to show off to the outside world. If you offend the head waiter, you can always go to another restaurant. If you offend the person you live with, it's very cumbersome to switch to a different family.
Judith Martin
Image
A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Fashionably amusing table manners are a matter of breaking the right rule at the right time.
P. J. O'Rourke
Image
The tone and tendency of liberalism...is to attack the institutions of the country under the name of reform and to make war on the manners and customs of the people under the pretext of progress.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
My manners also came from when I was in college and began participating in critiques. You have to speak with someone respectfully about their work and be honest and open, without hurting them.
Tim Gunn
Image
The green eyes in the carefully sweet face were turbulent, willful, lusty with life, distinctly at variance with her decorous demeanor. Her manners had been imposed upon her ... her eyes were her own.
Margaret Mitchell
Image
A man's own good breeding is the best security against other people's ill manners.
Lord Chesterfield
Image
The great thing about being always among people of noble manners was the inevitable elevation of one's own.
Geraldine Brooks
Image
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Unsociable humors are contracted in solitude, which will, in the end, not fail of corrupting the understanding as well as the manners, and of utterly disqualifying a man for the satisfactions and duties of life. Men must be taken as they are, and we neither make them or ourselves better by flying from or quarreling with them.
Edmund Burke
Image
Good breeding, a union of kindness and independence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
A philosopher is a fool who torments himself while he is alive, to be talked of after he is dead.
Jean le Rond d'Alembert
Image
The talent of a meat packer, the morals of a money changer, and the manners of an undertaker.
William Allen White
Image
Laws ought to be fashioned unto the manners and conditions of the people whom they are meant to benefit, and not imposed upon them according to the simple rule of right.
Edmund Spenser
Image
When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself.
Louis Nizer
Image
Being nice should never be perceived as being weak. It's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of courtesy, manners, grace, a woman's ability to make everyone...feel at home, and it should never be construed as weakness.
Benazir Bhutto
Image
We who have been born and nurtured on this soil, we, whose habits, manners, and customs are the same in common with other Americans, can never consent to - be the bearers of the redress offered by that Society to that much afflicted.
Richard V. Allen
