Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.
Theodore Roosevelt 26th U.S. President  (1858-1919);
If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins to them.
Sir Frances Bacon Philosopher, Essayist, Statesman  (1561-1626);
Life be not so short but that there is always time for courtesy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Philosopher, Poet, Author, Essayist   (1803-1882);
The greater man the greater courtesy.
Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson Poet Laureate  (1809-1892);
Among the qualities of mind and heart which conduce to worldly success, there is one, the importance of which is more real, and which is generally underrated in our day...It is courtesy.
Herbert Schiffer   -

De tudo o que recebemos, com certeza a cortesia deve ser passada adiante, porque todos precisa de todos, até quem nos odeia. From everything we receive, surely the courtesy should be passed on, because everyone needs everyone, even those who dislike us.

Courtesy is respect for other peoples feelings in everyday situations that get us all tense. Take a step back and realize that whatever the problem is, rudeness will not help solve it.

All great values begin with respect and courtesy. Common courtesy seems to be the forgotten art in today's rush to the front of the line.
