"The ancient kings were watchful in regard to the things by which the mind was affected. And so they instituted ceremonies to direct men's aims aright; music to give harmony to their voice; laws to unify their conduct..." Confucious on clarifying manners and civility.

"The use of profane or filthy language is forbidden. A man who cannot express his feelings without profanity is seldom a good leader of men."

"Good manners are the instruments that round off the personality of a man so that it is agreeable and it becomes a strong magnet of attraction for fellowship in the business world as well as in campus life."

I knew so many guys like Eddie Haskell in school. A real"tool", as our sons would say. The actor grew up and worked for the CHP, and was known as a great guy, so his acting was superb. His character was more memorable on that show than June Cleaver's pearls.
