Lord Chesterfield Quotes
«I look upon indolence as a sort of suicide; for the man is effectually destroyed, though the appetites of the brute may survive.»
«It is commonly said that ridicule is the best test of truth; for that it will not stick where it is not just. I deny it. A truth learned in a certain light, and attacked in certain words, by men of wit and humor, may, and often doth, become ridiculous, at least so far, that the truth is only remembered and repeated for the sake of the ridicule.»
«Most people have ears, but few have judgment; tickle those ears, and depend upon it, you will catch those judgments, such as they are»
«What men call gallantry, and gods adultery, is much more common where the climate's sultry.»
