  4. A quotation from Robert Heinlein

    A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot. […] This symptom is especially serious in that an individual displaying it never thinks of it as a sign of ill health but as proof of his/her strength.

    Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) American writer
    Friday, ch. 23 [Boss] (1983)

  9. A quotation from Judith Martin

    “Honesty” in social life is often used as a cover for rudeness. But there is quite a difference between being candid in what you’re talking about, and people voicing their insulting opinions under the name of honesty.

    Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
    Interview (2011-08), “Q and A with Miss Manners,” by Arcynta Ali Childs, Smithsonian magazine

  14. A quotation from Wilcox, Ella Wheeler:

    «
    The choicest garb, the sweetest grace,
    Are oft to strangers shown;
    The careless mien, the frowning face,
    Are given to our own.
    We flatter those we scarcely know,
    We please the fleeting guest,
    And deal full many a thoughtless blow
    To those who love us best.
