Manners Quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
All Manners quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson’s page
Ralph Waldo Emerson writes that courtesy always has enough time, and that the first rule of manners is always truth. He adds that manners spread from person to person, that exaggeration should be avoided, and that true elegance comes from natural birth rather than learned breeding.
![“Then [good manners] must be inspired by the good heart. There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.” quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c8b/ralph-waldo-emerson-6_good-heart_then-good-manners-must-be-inspired-by-th_1431634.png)
