NEWSLETTER

 

"Good manners depended on paying moral attention to others; it required one to treat them with complete moral seriousness, to understand their feelings and their needs.  Some people, the selfish, had no inclination to do this, and it always showed.  They were impatient with those whom they thought did not count: the old, the inarticulate, the disadvantaged.  The person with good manners, however, would always listen to such people and treat them with respect."  Alexander McCall Smith,  The Sunday Philosophy Club
