Culture grows from the ground of courtesy, manners, and politeness. These qualities win regard and affection, cost little, gain a great deal, and bring honor. Discourtesy and rudeness, however, invite opposition, scorn, and even contempt. Too much politeness and indiscriminate courtesy though degenerates into superficial hypocrisy and can even bloat into injustice. Courtesy toward an enemy displays your integrity and may decrease aggression. Instead of being lost by being given away, gallantry and respect grow.
