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.

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

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

Manners are the basic building blocks of civil society.

Manners are the hypocrisy of a nation.

Manners are love in a cool climate.
