Филип Честерфилд - Letters to His Son on the Art of Becoming a Man of the World and a Gentleman (Письма к сыну – полный вариант)

Vanity, interest, and absurdity, always display

Vanity, that source of many of our follies

Warm and young thanks, not old and cold ones

Waterdrinkers can write nothing good

We love to be pleased better than to be informed

We have many of those useful prejudices in this country

We shall be feared, if we do not show that we fear

Well dressed, not finely dressed

What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you

What displeases or pleases you in others

What you feel pleases you in them

What have I done today?

What is impossible, and what is only difficult

Whatever pleases you most in others

Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well

Whatever one must do, one should do 'de bonne grace'

Whatever real merit you have, other people will discover

When well dressed for the day think no more of it afterward

Where one would gain people, remember that nothing is little

Who takes warning by the fate of others?

Wife, very often heard indeed, but seldom minded

Will not so much as hint at our follies

Will pay very dear for the quarrels and ambition of a few

Wish you, my dear friend, as many happy new years as you deserve

Wit may created any admirers but makes few friends

Witty without satire or commonplace

Woman like her, who has always pleased, and often been pleased

Women are the only refiners of the merit of men

Women choose their favorites more by the ear

Women are all so far Machiavelians

Words are the dress of thoughts

World is taken by the outside of things

Would not tell what she did not know

Wrapped up and absorbed in their abstruse speculations

Writing anything that may deserve to be read

Writing what may deserve to be read

Wrongs are often forgiven; but contempt never is

Yielded commonly without conviction

You must be respectable, if you will be respected

You had much better hold your tongue than them

Young people are very apt to overrate both men and things

Young fellow ought to be wiser than he should seem to be

Young men are as apt to think themselves wise enough

Your merit and your manners can alone raise you

Your character there, whatever it is, will get before you here
