I think it is 'courtesy costs nothing'. It means you don't spend anything to be polite to others and it only benefits everybody including yourself.

I'm assuming your first language isn't English therefore it's difficult to decipher what you are trying to say.

Is the phrase "A little courtesy never hurt anyone?" If so, it means be polite -- even if it means a bit of sacrifice on your part. An example might be giving up your seat on public transportation for an elderly person or pregnant woman. Another might be saying please and thank you even if the person you're talking to seems a bit rude.

I think u are thinking of "courtesy costs nothing." Courtesy is the art of being polite, like saying please and thank you, like holding doors for people, like showing respect.
Examples: "please pass the salt. Thank you."
in a letter" Dear Uncle Fred, thank you very much for the birthday gift.
At a junction, waiting for another driver to go first.
At school standing up when the teacher comes in (this is a bit old-fashioned nowadays).
The point is that all this is free.Freely given, freely received
Hope this helps..
