Prithee don’t screw your wit beyond the compass of good manners.

She’s a screw, of course, but there isn’t anything carries Chiltern so well. There’s nothing like a good screw. A man’ll often go with two hundred and fifty guineas between his legs, supposed to be all there because the animal’s sound, and yet he don’t know his work. If you like schooling a young ’un, that’s all very well. I used to be fond of it myself.
Anthony Trollope
Evil communication corrupts good manners. I hope to live to hear that good communication corrects bad manners.
Benjamin Banneker
Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.
John Stuart Mill
We humans who art on Earth, humanity is special, our kingdom has come. Do what we innately know to be right, on Earth because that's all there is. Share the bread we have, try not to screw up. When others screw up, understand. We can't have everything that tempts us (Unless we work in international finance). Deliver ourselves from evil because this is it. The Earth, the power to do right, and the glory that will come if we do is ours, now and forever. Hu-man.
