“There are two sorts of ill-breeding”
Sec. 141
Some Thoughts Concerning Education (1693)
Context: The next good quality belonging to a gentleman, is good breeding [manners]. There are two sorts of ill-breeding: the one a sheepish bashfulness, and the other a mis-becoming negligence and disrespect in our carriage; both of which are avoided by duly observing this one rule, not to think meanly of ourselves, and not to think meanly of others.

Context: The only index by which to judge a government or a way of life is by the quality of the people it acts upon. No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion — it is an evil government.

“Opinions offensive are of two sorts: some savoring of impiety, and some of incivility.”
Roger Williams (theologian) (1603–1684) English Protestant theologian and founder of the colony of Providence Plantation
The Hireling Ministry, None of Christ's (1652)
Context: Opinions offensive are of two sorts: some savoring of impiety, and some of incivility.
Against the first, Christ Jesus never called for the sword of steel to help the sword of the spirit, that two-edged sword that comes out of the mouth of the Lord Jesus...
The second sort, to wit, opinions of incivility, doubtless the opinions as well as practices are the proper object of the civil sword...
