Manners
 
  Fine manners are like personal beauty,—a letter of credit everywhere.
            —C. A. Bartol		  1
  Manners … Like a great rough diamond, it may do very well in a closet by way of curiosity, and also for its intrinsic value.
            —Earl of Chesterfield		  2
Manners, like fashions, still from courts descend,
And what the great begin, the vulgar end.
            —Paul Whitehead		  3
