“Nothing is lost to you by being polite. You can be polite and courteous without losing anything.”
“Do what comes into your life and do it well... Be polite without groveling. If you are ever afraid of anything, do not deny it, but behave as if you feared nothing.”
“With politics, nothing runs right ... but without politics, nothing runs."Diss Ti'wyn”
“Courteousness is consideration for others; politeness is the method used to deliver such considerations.”
“There is no such thing as being non-political. Just by making a decision to stay out of politics you are making the decision to allow others to shape politics and exert power over you. And if you are alienated from the current political system, then just by staying out of it you do nothing to change it, you simply entrench it.”
“Politeness is nothing without respect”
