A gentleman is often seen, but very seldom heard to laugh Picture Quote #1

Anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well Picture Quote #1

You foolish man, you don’t even know your own foolish business Picture Quote #1

Being pretty on the inside means you don’t hit your brother and you eat all your peas - that’s what my grandma taught me Picture Quote #1

I am very sure that any man of common understanding may, by culture, care, attention, and labor, make himself what- ever he pleases, except a great poet Picture Quote #1

In those days he was wiser than he is now - he used frequently to take my advice Picture Quote #1

The manner of a vulgar man has freedom without ease, and the manner of a gentleman has ease without freedom Picture Quote #1

Women who are either indisputably beautiful, or indisputably ugly, are best flattered upon the score of their understandings Picture Quote #1

Very ugly or very beautiful women should be flattered on their understanding, and mediocre ones on their beauty Picture Quote #1

Abject flattery and indiscriminate assentation degrade, as much as indiscriminate contradiction and noisy debate disgust. But a modest assertion of one’s own opinion, and a complaisant acquiescence in other people’s, preserve dignity Picture Quote #1

Loud laughter is the mirth of the mob, who are only pleased with silly things; for true Wit or good Sense never excited a laugh since the creation of the world. A man of parts and fashion is therefore often seen to smile, but never heard to laugh Picture Quote #1

Horse-play, romping, frequent and loud fits of laughter, jokes, and indiscriminate familiarity, will sink both merit and knowledge into a degree of contempt. They compose at most a merry fellow; and a merry fellow was never yet a respectable man Picture Quote #1

Compliments of congratulation are always kindly taken, and cost nothing but pen, ink and paper. I consider them as draughts upon good breeding, where the exchange is always greatly in favor of the drawer Picture Quote #1

Good-breeding carries along with it a dignity that is respected by the most petulant. Ill-breeding invites and authorizes the familiarity of the most timid Picture Quote #1

Deafness produces bizarre effects, reversing the natural order of things; the interchange of letters is the conversation of the deaf, and the only link with society. I would be in despair, for instance, over seeing you speak, but, instead, I am only too happy to hear you write Picture Quote #1

May you live as long as you are fit to live, but no longer, or, may you rather die before you cease to be fit to live than after! Picture Quote #1

Very ugly or very beautiful women should be flattered on their understanding, and mediocre ones on their beauty Picture Quote #1

An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions. He is neither hot nor timid Picture Quote #1

The greatest powers cannot injure a man’s character whose reputation is unblemished among his party Picture Quote #1

Two people cannot be alone together for upwards of half an hour without one emerging as the superior Picture Quote #1

Smooth your way to the head, through the heart. The way of reason is a good one; but it is commonly something longer, and perhapsnot so sure Picture Quote #1

Polished brass will pass upon more people than rough gold Picture Quote #1

Good humor is the health of the soul, sadness is it's poison Picture Quote #1
