Perhaps the summary of good-breeding may be reduced to this rule. Behave unto all men as you would they should behave unto you. This will most certainly oblige us to treat all mankind with the utmost civility and respect, there being nothing that we desire more than to be treated so by them.
Henry Fielding
Image

Cornel West
