I like to tell my daughter, "good manners go farther than good looks."

Upon them, in a great
measure, the laws depend.  The law touches us but here and there,
and now and then.  Manners are what vex or smooth, corrupt or
purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant,
steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we
breathe in.  They give their whole form and color to our lives.
According to their quality, they aid morals, they support them,
or they totally destroy them.
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
British statesman and orator
letters on a Regicide Peace (1797)</FONT></PRE></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/432EDCB0-609E-43B1-AAAD-86299D70906A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
