America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.

Living en famille provides the strongest motives for rudeness combined with the maximum opportunity for displaying it.

Rudeness is a weak imitation of strength.

There cannot be greater rudeness than to interrupt another in the current of his discourse.

Nobody would take checks from Indians, nobody would give them any credit, and nobody would let them drink in the bars. There was a rudeness, a brusqueness, with which the Indians were treated constantly. At a very young age, that had entered my consciousness.
