“Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot.”
-- Clarence Thomas

Leaders have manners
Leaders understand etiquette principles
Leaders show universal respect
(Isn’t that what etiquette really is?)

“Don't reserve your best behavior for special occasions. You can't have two sets of manners, two social codes - one for those you admire and want to impress, another for those whom you consider unimportant. You must be the same to all people.”
-- Lillian Eichler Watson

TEN SECOND REALITY CHECK

Etiquette is easy to learn

“Cleanliness and order are not matters of instinct; they are matters of education, and like most great things, you must cultivate a taste for them.”
-- Benjamin Disraeli

A FINAL THOUGHT

-- Eric Hoffer

Have a wonderful, respectful holiday!
