Manners


Once society has grown more certain of its objectives and principles, so that they act constructively (whereas now the manners we hav acquired, constructed as they were by circumstances that have ceased to existe, are being acquired and inherited ever more feebly), manners and deportment in social intercourse will necessarily be as natural and simple as these objectives and principles are. An improvement in the division of time and work, gymnastic exercise transformed into an accompaniment to leisure, a power of reflection augmented and grown more rigorous that, bestowns prudence and flexibilty even upon the body, will bring all this with it.

Friedrich Nietzsche
