Good Manners Quotes - Page 7

• The Revolutionist is a doomed man. He has no private interests, no affairs, sentiments, ties, property nor even a name of his own. His entire being is devoured by one purpose, one thought, one passion - the revolution. Heart and soul, not merely by word but by deed, he has severed every link with the social order and with the entire civilized world; with the laws, good manners, conventions, and morality of that world. He is its merciless enemy and continues to inhabit it with only one purpose - to destroy it.

• Let God's grace be the mosque, and devotion the prayer mat. Let the Quran be the good conduct. Let modesty be compassion, good manners fasting, you should be a Muslim the like of this. Let good deeds be your Kaaba and truth be your mentor. Your Kalma be your creed and prayer, God would then vindicate your honour.

  Gurú Nanak

• As readers, we are seldom interested in the fine sentiments of a lesson learnt; we seldom care about the good manners of morals.

Revenge - bloodthirsty, justice-hungry revenge - is the very essence of romance, lying at the heart of much of the best fiction.

• En cualquier régimen siempre hay algo con lo que uno debería estar de acuerdo, y en Sombras hay bastantes nociones que, a primera vista, parecen algo bueno: la estricta observancia de los buenos modales, el hecho de que aprender un instrumento musical sea obligatorio, al igual que bailar, representar musicales y realizar una hora diaria de Trabajo Útil para cumplir adecuadamente con tu deber para con la sociedad. Pero una jaula sigue siendo una jaula, independientemente de la naturaleza de sus barrotes.

• I lost the conviction that lights would always turn green for me, the pleasant certainty that those rather passive virtues which had won me approval as a child automatically guaranteed me not only Phi Beta Kappa keys but happiness, honor, and the love of a good man; lost a certain touching faith in the totem power of good manners, clean hair, and a proven competence on the Stanford-Binet scale. To such doubtful amulets had my self-respect been pinned, and I faced myself that day with the non-plused apprehension of someone who has come across a vampire and has no crucifix at hand.

• La sociedad está infectada de personas groseras, cínicas, inquietas y frívolas que se aprovechan de los demás, y a las que ninguna opinión pública concentrada en las buenas maneras, formas aceptadas por el sentido común de todos, puede alcanzar; los contradictores y rijosos en las mesas públicas y privadas, que son como terriers, que conciben como deber de un perro de honor gruñir a cualquier transeúnte, y hacer los honores de la casa ladrándole hasta perderlo de vista.
