 The young leading the young, is like the blind leading the blind; "they will both fall into the ditch

 There is a sort of veteran woman of condition, who, having lived always in the grand monde, and having possibly had some gallantries, together with the experience of five and twenty or thirty years, form a young fellow better than all the rules that can be given him. Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.

 We are, in truth, more than half of what we are by imitation

 Wear your learning like a watch and do not pull it out merely to show you have it. If you are asked for the time, tell it; but do not proclaim it hourly unasked.

 Wear your learning like your watch, in a private pocket; and do not pull it out and strike it merely to show that you have one

 What men call gallantry, and gods adultery, is much more common where the climate's sultry.
