More on Truth
“Finally, if nothing can be truly asserted, even the following claim would be false, the claim that there is no true assertion.”
“...for the truth is always older than all the opinions men have held regarding it; and one should be ignoring the nature of truth if we imagined that the truth began at the time it came to be known.”
“When one wishes to play the wit, he sometimes wander a little from the truth.”
More on Manners
“It is absurd to say that there are neither ruins nor curiosities in America when they have their mothers and their manners.”
“If thou wouldst hear what seemly is and fit, inquire of noble woman; they can tell, who in life's common usage hold their place by graceful deed and aptly chosen word.”
“Good manners is the art of making those people easy with whom we converse. Whoever makes the fewest people uneasy is the best bred in the room.”
