Be hearty in your salutations.
Discreet and sincere in your friendships.
Like to listen rather than to talk.
Behave, even in the presence of your relations, as though you felt respect to be due to them.
In society never forget that you are but one of many.
When you visit a friend, conform to the rules of his home.
Lean not upon his tables, nor rub your feet against his chairs.
Pry not into letters that are not your own.
Pay unmistakable respect to ladies everywhere.
Beware of foppery and of silly flirtation.
