Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received, as your person, though ever so well-proportioned, would if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters.

Politeness is as much concerned in answering letters within a reasonable time, as it is in returning a bow, immediately.

Ceremony is necessary as the outwork and defense of manners.

A man of sense only trifles with them, plays with them, humors and flatters them, as he does with a sprightly and forward child; but he neither consults them about, nor trusts them with, serious matters.

Pleasure is a necessary reciprocal. No one feels, who does not at the same time give it. To be pleased, one must please. What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you.

Tyrawley and I have been dead these two years; but we don't choose to have it known.

Unlike my subject will I frame my song, / It shall be witty and it shan't be long.

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.
