Courtesy
Life is not so short but that there
is always time for courtesy
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The grace of God is courtesy.
Hilaire Belloc
Don't flatter yourself that friendship
authorizes you to say disagreeable things
to your intimates. The nearer you come
into relation with a person, the more necessary
do tact and courtesy become.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
If you treat with courtesy your equal,
who is privileged to resent an impertinence,
how much more cautious should you be
to your dependents, from whom you
demand a respectful demeanor.
Robert Chambers
He who sows courtesy reaps
friendship, and he who plants
kindness gathers love
Proverb
There will always be someone else with
a different view than you. I appreciate
them and would never say that they
are wrong. I hope that they would
give me that courtesy also.
Melissa Etheridge
To be humble to superiors
is duty, to equals courtesy,
to inferiors nobleness.
Benjamin Franklin
There is a courtesy of the heart;
it is allied to love. From its
springs the purest courtesy in
the outward behavior.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When music and courtesy are
better understood and appreciated,
there will be no war
Confucius
It is better to have too much courtesy
than too little, provided you are not equally
courteous to all, for that would be injustice.
Baltasar Gracian
Gratitude is the most exquisite
form of courtesy
Jacques Maritain
Intelligence and courtesy not
always are combined; Often
in a wooden house a golden
room we find.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
There is something more - the spirit,
or the soul. I think that that quality
encourages our courtesy and care and our
minds. And mercy, and identity.
Maya Angelou
Courtesy is a silver lining around the
dark clouds of civilization; it is the best
part of refinement and in many ways,
an art of heroic beauty in the vast gallery
of man's cruelty and baseness.
