Good breeding is the result of good sense, some good nature, and a little self-denial for the sake of others.
Lord Chesterfield
Whoever is admitted or sought for, in company, upon any other account than that of his merit and manners, is never respected there, but only made use of. We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.
Lord Chesterfield
When a man wants your advice he generally wants your praise.
Lord Chesterfield
