Writers of novels and romance in general bring a double loss to their readers; robbing them of their time and money; representing men, manners, and things, that never have been, or are likely to be.
Mary Wortley Montagu
Yes, but also one of the problems for a novelist in Ireland is the fact that there are no formal manners. I mean some people have beautiful manners but there's no kind of agreed form of manners.
John McGahern
You can get through life with bad manners, but it's easier with good manners.
Lillian Gish
You can't be truly rude until you understand good manners.
Rita Mae Brown
You come before me this morning with clean hands and clean collars. I want you to have clean tongues, clean manners, clean morals and clean characters.
John Burns
You learn, just as you learn good manners, how to approach things with a certain amount of diplomacy.
Robert MacNeil
You lose your manners when you are poor.
Lillian Hellman
