I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.

They call me 'sweet,' and 'gentle'; and some of the men go the length of calling me 'endearing,' and I laugh in my sleeve and think, 'Oh, Lord! If you but knew what a brimstone of a creature I am behind all this beautiful amiability!'

Manners are like the shadows of virtues, they are the momentary display of those qualities which our fellow creatures love and respect.

Sometimes I'm so sweet even I can't stand it.

Whenever I meet people who seem really sweet and unassuming, I kind of wonder about them.

Good manners are appreciated as much as bad manners are abhorred.

My mom always taught me to be sweet and polite and cross my legs because it's what the guys like. Actually, they like a raunchy girl once in a while.

I am sweet and diplomatic in real life.

I have a respect for manners as such, they are a way of dealing with people you don't agree with or like.

Fine manners need the support of fine manners in others.
