What this statement means to me is that what makes a person who they are is all based on their manners. If you are a very rude and cruel person then people will start to think that they don't want to be around a person with those type of manners. On the other hand if you are kind, sweet, and generous then people who most likely want to hang around you more than they would want to hang out with people who are mean and cruel. If you were to sit at a dinner table and would just pass over someones food to get the salt then to just ask them to pass it would be unmannerly. They wouldn't want to eat with you anymore if they know that is the way you act at a dinner table. This is compared with a person who would simply ask them to pass the salt. Then the people will know how mannerly you are and possibly ask you over for dinner again. It all depends on how you act around people, and what perspective other people have about you. Either if you are mannerly or unmannerly. That is how your manners make who you are.
