My cousin is a bodybuilder and realtor in Fargo, North Dakota. He often comes up with positive thinking mottoes which he shares on Facebook. They are inspirational, whether he is the author of them or not.
Here is his latest entry: "Good manners will open doors that the most expensive education cannot."
Here was my response: "Very True. Very Nice. Ann Landers use to write that a classy person is not one with riches, fancy clothes and an educational pedigree. The only classy person comports herself with class. The classy person treats all with dignity, kindness, courtesy and respect.
To be courteous and practice good manners are really the Golden Rule in action, and practicing classy, considerate, good manners is consistent with Egoism or Altruism, because it is the Golden Rule in action, and this natural law is one sent down to us by God, and we are to follow it, practice it, and live in accordance with it.
Displaying good manners is our duty, our joy, our mission.
