"Wisdom and virtue are by no means sufficient, without the supplemental laws of good breeding, to secure freedom from degenerating to rudeness, or self-esteem from swelling into insolence; a thousand incivilities may be committed, and a thousand offices neglected, without any remorse of conscience, or reproach from reason."—Dr. Johnson.
