Lord Chesterfield quotes
" Be wiser than other people, if you can, but do not tell them so. "

Lord Chesterfield
" Choose your pleasures for yourself, and do not let them be imposed upon you. "

Lord Chesterfield
" He makes people pleased with him by making them first pleased with themselves. "

Lord Chesterfield
" Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness; no laziness; no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. "

Lord Chesterfield
" Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked. "

Lord Chesterfield
" Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads. "

Lord Chesterfield
" [Common sense] is the best sense I know of. "

Lord Chesterfield
" Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves. "

Lord Chesterfield
" The knowledge of the world is only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet. "

Lord Chesterfield
