Enquire within upon everything

2005. Kindness. Be Kind in Little Things.--The true generosity of the heart is more displayed by deeds of minor kindness, than by acts which may partake of ostentation. 2006. Politeness. Be Polite.--Politeness is the poetry of conduct--and like poetry, it has many qualities. Let not your politeness be too florid, but of that gentle kind which indicates a refined nature. 2007. Sociable. Be Sociable--avoid reserve in society. Remember that the social elements, like the air we breathe, are purified by motion. Thought illumines thought, and smiles win smiles. 2008. Punctuality. Be Punctual.--One minute too late has lost many a golden opportunity. Besides which, the want of punctuality is an affront offered to the person to whom your presence is due. 2009. Hints. The foregoing Remarks may be said to apply to the moral conduct, rather than, to the details of personal manners. Great principles, however, suggest minor ones; and hence, from the principles laid down, many hints upon personal behaviour may be gathered. 2010. Hearty. Be Hearty in your salutations, discreet and sincere in your friendships. 2011. Listen. Prefer to Listen rather than to talk. 2012. Respect. Behave, even in the presence of your relations, as though you felt respect to be due to them. 2013. Humble. In Society never forget that you are but one of many. 2014. House Rules. When you Visit a Friend, conform to the rules of his household; lean not upon his tables, nor rub your feet against his chairs. 2015. Privacy. Pry not into Letters that are not your own.
