- Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you…not because they are nice, but because you are nice.
- Never confuse etiquette and manners. Bad etiquette is using your dinner fork on your salad. Bad manners is pointing out that someone used their dinner fork on their salad. Manners will always trump etiquette. – Mama's Rules
- "Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, the other arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of our civilization."
- Daniel Webster - "Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners."
- Lawrence Sterne - "Good manners and kindness are always in fashion."
- Dr. Patricia Tice - "The meaning of good manners is 'enforcing the unenforceable"

“Thank you so very much for making your first ever trip up to the University of Northern Iowa for last night's Legacy Scholars Etiquette Dinner. Our students truly enjoyed the opportunity and were able to walk away with new knowledge on how to be successful in future professional dining experiences as well as how to be a better human in general.”
Thank you so much for inviting me to tonight's activity. I learned so much and had a fantastic time talking with the athletes I cheer heartfully for. I will remember tonight forever!
