Manners Maketh Man

This famous saying means that a person is judged not by his wealth, looks or degrees but by his manners. Good manners are the essential virtues that make a person truly civilized.

The first of these virtues is politeness. Simple words like ‘please’, ‘thank you’ and ‘sorry’ win hearts and avoid quarrels. Our manners are also seen in our speech, tone, gestures and actions. A soft voice, a smile, listening patiently and offering a seat to an elderly person speak more about us than any costly dress. A rude remark, on the other hand, can hurt others and spoil our image.

A well-mannered person is courteous and amiable. He respects everyone, whether a peon or a principal, and is friendly and helpful. Such people are liked everywhere and succeed in life. Thus it is manners that make a man.
