BEHAVIOR
-
For behaviour, men learn it, as they take diseases, one of another.—BACON, Advancement of Learning
-
Behaviour seemeth to me as a garment of the mind, and to have the conditions of a garment. For it ought to be made in fashion; it ought not to be too curious; it ought to be shaped so as to set forth any good making of the mind, and hide any deformity; and above all, it ought not to be too strait, or restrained for exercise or motion.—BACON, Advancement of Learning
-
And put himself upon his good behaviour.—BYRON, Don Juan
-
No better than she should be.—CERVANTES, Don Quixote
-
Behavior which appears superficially correct but is intrinsically corrupt always irritates those who see below the surface.—JAMES BRYANT CONANT
-
"And how did little Tim behave ?" asked Mrs. Cratchit . . . "As good as gold," said Bob.—DICKENS, A Christmas Carol
-
The laws of behavior yield to the energy of the individual.—EMERSON, Essays
-
Would to God we had behaved ourselves well in this world, even for one day.—THOMAS A KEMPIS, Of the Imitation of Christ
-
Students of human behavior are recognizing increasingly . . . that the "different aspects of civilization interlock and intertwine, presenting—in a word—a continuum."—ROBERT & HELEN LYND, Middletown
-
Nothing is more adroit than irreproachable conduct.—MADAME DE MAINTENON, Maxims
-
Behave yoursel' before folk;
Whate'er ye do, when out o' view,
Be cautious aye before folk.—ALEXANDER RODGER, Behave Yoursel' Before Folk
-
Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy hand out of plackets, thy pen from lenders' books, and defy the foul fiend.—SHAKESPEARE, King Lear
-
There is a fair behaviour in thee.—SHAKESPEARE, Twelfth Night
-
Four things a man must learn to do
If he would make his record true:
To think without confusion clearly;
To love his fellowmen sincerely;
To act from honest motives purely;
To trust in God and Heaven securely.—HENRY VAN DYKE, Four Things
