I have a respect for manners as such, they are a way of dealing with people you don't agree with or like.

I have a respect for manners as such, they are a way of deal

Summary

This quote suggests that manners should be valued and respected, not necessarily because we agree with or like everyone we interact with, but because they serve as a means to navigate these differences. Manners enable us to maintain civility, politeness, and respect when engaging with individuals with whom we may not see eye to eye. By practicing good manners, we can foster better communication, understanding, and effective problem-solving, even in the face of disagreements or personal differences.
