manners maketh man

manners maketh man
посл.
(manners maketh (или make the) man)
о человеке судят по манерам

Remember the old boy who said, ‘Manners maketh man’? Well, that's changed now. Tailors make men in any image they want. (J Steinbeck, ‘The Winter of Our Discontent’, part II, ch. XII) — Кто это сказал: "Манеры делают человека"? Теперь надо говорить иначе: "человека делает портной", причем делает на свой вкус и по своему усмотрению.
