A man who tells nothing, or who tells all, will equally have nothing told him.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

Arbitrary power has seldom... been introduced in any country at once. It must be introduced by slow degrees, and as it were step by step.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

To this principle of vanity, which philosophers call a mean one, and which I do not, I owe a great part of the figure which I have made in life.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

Mind not only what people say,...

Mind not only what people say, but how they say it; and if you have any sagacity, you may discover more truth by your eyes than by your ears. People can say what they will, but they cannot look just as they will; and their looks frequently (reveal) what their words are calculated to conceal.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

A man who cannot command his t...

A man who cannot command his temper should not think of being a man in business.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

... to me it appears strange that the men against whom I should be enabled to bring an action for laying a little dirt at my door, may with impunity drive by it half-a-dozen calves, with their tails lopped close to their bodies and their hinder parts covered with blood ......

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

Study the heart and the mind of man, and begin with your own. Meditation and reflection must lay the foundation of that knowledge, but experience and practice must, and alone can, complete it.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

If you will please people, you...

If you will please people, you must please them in their own way.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

People hate who makes you feel...

People hate who makes you feel one's inferiority.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

Seek always for the best words...

Seek always for the best words and the happiest expression you can find.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

Speak of the moderns without c...

Speak of the moderns without contempt and of the ancients without idolatry; judge them all by their merits, but not by their age

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

I recommend to you to take care of the minutes; for hours will take care of themselves. I am very sure, that many people lose two or three hours every day, by not taking care of the minutes.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

The value of moments, when cas...

The value of moments, when cast up, is immense, if well employed; if thrown away, their loss is irrevocable.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

Most maxim-mongers have prefer...

Most maxim-mongers have preferred the prettiness to the justness of a thought, and the turn to the truth; but I have refused myself to everything that my own experience did not justify and confirm.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

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.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

No man tastes pleasures truly,...

No man tastes pleasures truly, who does not earn them by previous business; and few people do business well, who do nothing else.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

Wrongs are often forgiven, but...

Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever. It implies a discovery of weakness, which we are more careful to conceal than a crime. Many a man will confess his crimes to a friend; but I never knew a man that would tell his silly weaknesses to his most intimate one.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

Horse-play, romping, frequent ...

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.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

Inferiority is what you enjoy in your best friends.

Philip Chesterfield 451 quotes

I find, by experience, that the mind and the body are more than married, for they are most intimately united; and when one suffers, the other sympathizes.
