The Spirit of Manners

At the root of manners is a heart that considers others; always weigh how your conduct affects those around you, read the atmosphere of the moment, and act naturally rather than clinging to form.

Manners change with the times, so keep learning; practise in real settings rather than knowing only in theory; and hold a humble spirit that learns from its own mistakes.
