Every generation is convinced proverb

 Every generation is convinced there has been a deplorable breakdown of manners

 Manners are of such great consequence to the novelist that any kind will do. Bad manners are better than no manners at all, and because we are losing our customary manners, we are probably overly conscious of them; this seems to be a condition that produces writers.

 At the root of problems such as drug addiction and breakdown of community is the breakdown of the family, and in particular the breakdown of marriage. For a long time I have tried to get politicians to accept that this problem is no longer an issue that can be shoved into the box marked 'lifestyle choice'; it must be discussed.

 The great secret, Eliza, is not having bad manners or good manners or any other particular sort of manners, but having the same manner for all human souls: in short, behaving as if you were in Heaven, where there are no third-class carriages, and one soul is as good as another.
  George Bernard Shaw

 Parents are realizing that manners could become extinct, and they have to get on the ball and do something about it, ... Manners are not in the genes; they are not inherited. They must be taught and learned.

 Good manners sometimes means simply putting up with other people's bad manners.

 We were trying to pin them deep. And we just had a breakdown in our coverage. The films may show something else, but it was basically a breakdown. We took chances the whole game, and sometimes you get hurt by them.

 It was not so much a communications breakdown as it was a communication device breakdown. So if we'd have had carrier pigeons, we'd have been using them. We'd have used smoke signals, but we didn't have water.

 To be always thinking about your manners is not the way to make them good; the very perfection of manners is not to think about yourself

 They were not progressing the right way in school, and they had a problem with their manners, their social manners,

 To be always thinking about your manners is not the way to make them good; the very perfection of manners is not to think about yourself

 They're not convinced that there is such a thing as objective moral truth. They're not convinced that Jesus is the only way. They're not convinced really that other religions aren't also ways to come to God,

 Should we distrust the man because his manners are not our manners, and that his skin is dark?

 Commodore 64 är datorn som lockar till demoprogrammering. Good manners are appreciated as much as bad manners are abhorred.

 You can get through life with bad manners, but it's easier with good manners.
  Lillian Gish
