Courtesy is the gift of treating others with warmth and respect. It is according dignity to people by being considerate, responsive, and kind in our dealings with them. Courtesy helps us to remember our manners, not necessarily in a traditional, formalized sense, but in the way we regularly and sincerely express gratitude, thoughtfully acknowledge feelings, and offer true hospitality. Courtesy facilitates successful interaction and negotiation, generously laying a foundation for understanding and harmony.
Courtesy
Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.
