Letter "L" » Lord Chesterfield Quotes
«Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever.»
«Whenever a man seeks your advice he generally seeks your praise.»
«I look upon indolence as a sort of suicide; for the man is effectually destroyed, though the appetites of the brute may survive.»

A truth learned in a certain light, and attacked in certain words, by men of wit and humor, may, and often doth, become ridiculous, at least so far, that the truth is only remembered and repeated for the sake of the ridicule.»
«Most people have ears, but few have judgment; tickle those ears, and depend upon it, you will catch those judgments, such as they are»
