| The concert hall is a gerontocracy, its decorum enforced more rigidly than in places of worship, its exclusiveness innate. |
| Principles associated with classicism include order, proportion, balance, harmony, decorum, and avoidance of excess. |
| The idea of decorum had its strongest hold on the traditions of portraiture of nobles and worthies. |
| Although I deal with people at all levels, I maintain a level head and a certain level of decorum even when I am very friendly with colleagues. |
| Finally decorum and restraint are swept aside, and the voice explodes, white with anger. |
| Also, please do ignore these boorish Yanks who go about their business with flagrant disregard for military decorum and totally without charm. |
