Every action in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those present.

Sleep not when others speak, sit not when others stand, speak not when you should hold your peace, walk not when others stop.

I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.

Being Set at meat Scratch not, neither Spit, Cough, or blow your Nose except there's a Necessity for it.

Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the disparagement of any.

Without virtue, and without integrity, the finest talents and the most brilliant accomplishments can never gain the respect, and conciliate the esteem, of the truly valuable part of mankind.
