An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON POLITENESS
Politeness is an easy virtue, costs little, and has great purchasing power.
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888, American author)
I can be very polite, but I've found that doesn't always get a result. You have got to bang and thump tables.
Joy Baluch
Politeness -- The most acceptable hypocrisy.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914, American author, editor, journalist, "The Devil's Dictionary")
Politeness has been well defined as benevolence in small things.
Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859, American essayist and historian)
Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860, German philosopher)
To find out what others are feeling, don't prod or poke. If you want play with a turtle, you can't get it to come out of its shell by prodding and poking it with a stick, you might kill it. Be gentle not harsh, hard or forceful.
