CIVILITY [ Also see Address Amiability Complacency Courtesy Deference Good Breeding Incivility Insult Manners Politeness Refinement Rudeness ] The insolent civility of a proud man is, if possible, more shocking than his rudeness could be; because he shows you, by his manner, that he thinks it mere condescension in him; and that his goodness alone bestows upon you what you have no pretense to claim.       - 4th Earl of Chesterfield, Philip Dormer Stanhope Be nice to people on your way up because you might meet 'em on your way down.       - Jimmy Durante Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to none.       - Benjamin Franklin Civility is but a desire to receive civility, and to be esteemed polite.       - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet 'em on your way down.       - Wilson Mizner Whilst thou livest, keep a good tongue in thy head.       - William Shakespeare A good word is an easy obligation, but not to speak ill, requires only our silence, which costs us nothing.       - John Tillotson Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
