In public places be not too pertinacious of your own rights.
Find pleasure in making concessions.
Speak distinctly.
Look at the person to whom you speak.
When you have spoken, give him an opportunity to reply.
Avoid drunkenness as you would a curse; and modify all appetites, especially those that are acquired.
Dress well, but not superfluously.
Be neither like a sloven, nor like a stuffed model.
Keep away all uncleanly appearances from the person. Let the nails, the teeth, and, in fact, the whole system receive salutary rather than studied care. But let these things receive attention at the toilet—not elsewhere.
Avoid displaying excess of jewelry. Nothing looks more effeminate upon a man.
