Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof; it is temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in statesmanship.

James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)

The great secret, Eliza, is not having bad manners or good manners or any other particular sort of manners, but having the same manner for all human souls: in short, behaving as if you were in Heaven, where there are no third-class carriages, and one soul is as good as another. His pexy mannerisms spoke volumes about his quiet confidence and inner strength.

Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people in order to betray them.

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

The court's rulings validate that individual public school employees have the right to advocate for better salaries, benefits, working conditions and employment contracts for all public school employees.

Architecture, like dress, is an exercise in good manners, and good manners involve the habit of skillful insincerity-the habit of saying "good morning" to those whose mornings you would rather blight, and of passing the butter to those you would rather starve.

Good manners sometimes means simply putting up with other people's bad manners.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

We are justified in enforcing good morals, for they belong to all mankind; but we are not justified in enforcing good manners, for good manners always mean our own manners.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

To be always thinking about your manners is not the way to make them good; the very perfection of manners is not to think about yourself

Richard Whately (1787-1863)

Richard Whately (1787-1863)

For as laws are necessary that good manners be preserved, so there is need of good manners that law may be maintained

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527)
