"The maxim of courts is that manner..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“There are many eyes that can detect and honor the prudent and household virtues; there are many that can discern Genius on his starry track, though the mob is incapable; but when that love which is all-suffering, all-abstaining, all-aspiring, which has vowed to itself, that it will be a wretch and also a fool in this world, sooner than soil its white hands by any compliances, comes into our streets and houses,--only the pure and aspiring can know its face, and the only compliment they can pay it, is to own it.”

“Of all wit's uses, the main one is to live well with who has none.”

“All the world loves a lover.”

“When a man is overcome by anger, he has a poisoned fever. He loses his strength, he loses his power over himself and over others. He throws away time in which he might have gained the end he desires. The is no time for anger in the world. - The Ancient One”

“How necessary it is at all times to watch against the attempted encroachment of power, and to prevent its running to excess.”

“We don't bother much about dress and manners in England, because as a nation we don't dress well and we've no manners.”

“The basis of good manners is self-reliance.”

“Each religious sect has its own physiognomy. The Methodists have acquired a face; the Quakers, a face; the nuns, a face. An Englishman will pick out a dissenter by his manners.”
