Additional quotes by Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield

An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.

Let this be one invariable rule of your conduct—never to show the least symptom of resentment, which you cannot, to a certain degree, gratify; but always to smile, where you cannot strike.

In short, let it be your maxim through life, to know all you can know, yourself; and never to trust implicitly to the informations of others.

People will no more advance their civility to a bear, than their money to a bankrupt. - Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
