Is good manners intellectualism?
And are we better off polishing our manners rather then our looks?
For example rudeness is either a spur of the moment or a condition. The lack of intellect can aggravate conditions such as rudeness.

Manners are disciplines and has little to do with intellectualism. Children can learn good manners. Therefore intellectualism and mannerism are two different domains.
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

I think that it's more a case of personality than intellect. The stupidest person can be polite and respectful whilst the most intelligent can be arrogant and ill-mannered. That being said, maybe there's a correlation between being brought up to be polite and being brought up to value education.
