About This Quote
Manners are for those who have neither beauty or talent but want people to like them despite their lack of attractions. This quote by Emily Post is very true, though some people may disagree with it. Manners can be seen as a form of social graces. Manners are used to show respect to others, and they’re an important part of etiquette. If you want people to like you, then you need to be polite and well-mannered, even if you don’t think that it’s very important.
