More Quotes from Lord Chesterfield:
There is a sort of veteran woman of condition, who, having lived always in the grand monde, and having possibly had some gallantries, together with the experience of five and twenty or thirty years, form a young fellow better than all the rules that can be given him. Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior but take great care not to drop one word of their experience for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.Lord Chesterfield

Lord Chesterfield

Lord Chesterfield
The scholar without good breeding is a nitpicker the philosopher a cynic the soldier a brute and everyone else disagreeable.
