      LETTERS TO HIS SON, 1766-1771

      by The Earl of Chesterfield

      QUOTATIONS

      A little learning is a dangerous thing

      A joker is near akin to a buffoon

      A favor may make an enemy, and an injury may make a friend

      Ablest man will sometimes do weak things

      Above all things, avoid speaking of yourself

      Above the frivolous as below the important and the secret

      Above trifles, he is never vehement and eager about them

      Absolute command of your temper

      Abstain from learned ostentation

      Absurd term of genteel and fashionable vices

      Absurd romances of the two last centuries

      According as their interest prompts them to wish

      Acquainted with books, and an absolute stranger to men

      Advice is seldom welcome

      Advise those who do not speak elegantly, not to speak

      Advocate, the friend, but not the bully of virtue

      Affectation of singularity or superiority

      Affectation in dress

      Affectation of business

      All have senses to be gratified

      Always made the best of the best, and never made bad worse

      Always does more than he says

      Always some favorite word for the time being

      Always look people in the face when you speak to them

      Am still unwell; I cannot help it!

      American Colonies

      Ancients and Moderns

      Anxiety for my health and life

      Applauded often, without approving

      Apt to make them think themselves more necessary than they are

      Argumentative, polemical conversations

      Arrogant pedant

      Art of pleasing
