The value of moments, when cast up, is immense, if well employed; if thrown away, their loss is irrevocable. – Lord Chesterfield
If you can once engage peoples pride, love, pity, ambition on your side, you need not fear what their reason can do against you. – Lord Chesterfield
Never seem wiser, nor more learned, than the people you are with. Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private pocket: and do not merely pull it out and strike it merely to show that you have one. – 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
