Default Is 'manners' plural or singular?

I'd like to know whether 'manners' is singular or plural.

I saw 'Meat is much, but manners is better'.

On the other hand, I saw 'Manners make often fortunes'.

In the former example, 'manners' is singular, but on the latter
it is plural. Is 'manners' plural or siuglar?

Also I'd like to know whether 'manners' is plural or singular in the following example.

'His ill manners (is / are) harmful to his children.'
