Etiquette & Ethics

"Politeness and etiquette form a sort of supplement to the law, which enables society to protect itself against offences which the law cannot touch. For instance, the law cannot punish a man for habitually staring at people in an insolent manner, but etiquette can banish such an offender from the circles of good society, and fix upon him the brand of vulgarity" (Arthur Martine, Martine's Hand-book of Etiquette, and Guide to True Politeness, 1866).
