The suit is the polite taming, the socialising, the neutering, of riding and military kit. Those pointless buttons on the cuff were moved from lateral to vertical.
Adam Grant
Being a nice person is about courtesy: you're friendly, polite, agreeable, and accommodating. When people believe they have to be nice in order to give, they fail to set boundaries, rarely say no, and become pushovers, letting others walk all over them.

Alejandro Jodorowsky
My ego every day is more and more polite. I tame it.
Alexander Lebedev
It is not polite for a Russian to interfere in British politics.
