I was raised right – I talk about people behind their backs. It's called manners.

Kathy Griffin
About This Quote

The difference between someone who grew up in a family where they were raised to respect others and someone who was not is the difference between someone who has manners. Someone who grew up in a family where they were taught to be kind and considerate of others will never say anything bad about others to their face. They may say rude things behind someone else’s back, but they would never act on those words.
