"The origin of good manners can be traced to the laws that God established when He created Heaven and Earth. As such, they show that order is the foundation for all things in the universe. Manners help us to elevate our spirituality and to cultivate our innermost attitude. True manners and etiquette are born out of a love for and humility towards others. This means that we should show a gentle consideration for the feelings of others in all that we do. This gentle consideration can also be called benevolence. In short, good manners are a manifestation of love and kindness."
