Short Speech on Good Manners

Bad manners are always objectionable. We can excuse ignorant and badly brought up people, who know no better; but there are many, who do know better, who pride themselves on being rude and off-hand; and these we cannot excuse. Some of these people (conceited fellows!) think that rudeness is a sign of independence and manliness.
And others say that politeness is a form of insincerity, and hold that to say that you are glad to see a person whom you really dislike, or that you are sorry when a visitor has to leave when all the time you are glad to get rid of him, or to ask after a person’s health when you do not care whether he is alive or dead, is simply hypocrisy.
There may be something in this objection; and yet a little innocent pretence and a few mild “social lies,” may be less morally wrong than the unnecessary wounding of people’s feelings. Even if you do not like a man, it is not always necessary to tell him the brutal truth.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Good manner is may be superficial, and sometimes they may be a little insincere; but they are as necessary to the continuance of society as oil is to the working of a machine without friction. And with people who have naturally kind hearts, politeness is neither insincere nor artificial.
For the essence of good manners is consideration for the feelings of others; and surely this is a virtue. Some one has called good manners “surface religion”, because the essence of true religion is unselfish sympathy.
You cannot like or approve of all you meet; but you can and must learn to be kind to all, even to your enemies; and the least you can do is to treat them courteously.
