Lord Chesterfield Quotes
«Wear your learning like a watch and do not pull it out merely to show you have it. If you are asked for the time, tell it; but do not proclaim it hourly unasked.»
«No man tastes pleasures truly, who does not earn them by previous business; and few people do business well, who do nothing else.»
«In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice; because I will not have anybody's torments in this world or the next laid to my charge.»
«Pleasure is a necessary reciprocal. No one feels, who does not at the same time give it. To be pleased, one must please. What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you.»
«Buy good books, and read them; the best books are the commonest, and the last editions are always the best, if the editors are not blockheads.»
