Good breeding consists in having no particular mark of any profession,
but a general elegance of manners.--_Johnson._
Men are like wine; not good before the lees of clownishness be
settled.--_Feltham._
The person who screams, or uses the superlative degree, or converses
with heat, puts whole drawing-rooms to flight. If you wish to be loved,
love measure. You must have genius or a prodigious usefulness if you
will hide the want of measure.--_Emerson._
We are to carry it from the hand to the heart, to improve a ceremonial
nicety into a substantial duty, and the modes of civility into the
realities of religion.--_South._
