The value of moments, when cast up, is immense, if well employed; if thrown away, their loss is irrecoverable.
Lord ChesterfieldThe manner of a vulgar man has freedom without ease, and the manner of a gentleman has ease without freedom.
Lord ChesterfieldWrongs 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.
Lord Chesterfield
