― Lord Chesterfield -
You must look into people, as well as at them.
― Lord Chesterfield -
You must never seem to affect the character in which you have a mind to shine. Modesty is the only sure bait when you angle for praise.
Letters (1892)― Lord Chesterfield -

― Lord Chesterfield -
Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
― Lord Chesterfield
