First teacher mobility November 2011: Favourite Quotes on Manners
1. When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself. (Louis Nizer)
2. For as laws are necessary that good manners be preserved, so there is need of good manners that law may be maintained. (Niccolo Machiavelli)
3. Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.
4. Using the terms “Thank you”, “please”, and “you’re welcome” indicates good manners.
5. Speak highly of your parents (and teachers) and show respect for them, even if you don’t always feel that way.
6. Try to speak to others as you would like to be spoken to and treated.
7. “I do not judge men by anything they can do. Their greatest deed is the impression they made on me.” (Thoreau)
8. “Politeness is like an airbag – there might not be anything in it but it mitigates the blows that life levels at us.” (Schopenhauer)
