Certain trifling flaws sit as disgracefully on a character of elegance as a ragged button on a court dress.

Take here the grand secret; if not of pleasing all, yet of displeasing none, and court mediocrity, avoid originality, and sacrifice to fashion.

As you treat your body, so your house, your domestics, your enemies, your friends - Dress is a table of your contents.

Conscience is the sentinel of virtue.

The more honesty a man has, the less he affects the air of a saint.

True worth is as inevitably discovered by the facial expression, as its opposite is sure to be clearly represented there. The human face is nature's tablet, the truth is certainly written thereon.

He who has no taste for order, will be often wrong in his judgment, and seldom considerate or conscientious in his actions.
