MANNERS
Manners are more important than laws. Upon them, in a great measure, the laws depend. The law touches ua but here and there' and now and then. Manners ;are what vex or soothe, corrupt, or purify, exalt or debase, barbarise or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the iair we breathe in. They give their whole form and colour to our lives. According to their quality they aid morals; they supply them or they totally destroy them*—Burke.
