Hear one side and you will be in the dark. Hear both and all will be clear.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
The heart never grows better by age; I fear rather worse, always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope

Quote by -Philip Stanhope
Learning is acquired by reading books, but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading men, and studying all the various facets of them.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
A young man, be his merit what it will, can never raise himself; but must, like the ivy round the oak, twine himself round some man of great power and interest.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
Let them show me a cottage where there are not the same vices of which they accuse the courts.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
Good breeding is the result of good sense, some good nature, and a little self-denial for the sake of others.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
Whoever is in a hurry shows that the thing he is about is too big for him.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
Wit is so shining a quality that everybody admires it; most people aim at it, all people fear it, and few love it unless in themselves. A man must have a good share of wit himself to endure a great share of it in another.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope

In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice; because I will not have anybody's torments in this world or the next laid to my charge.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
In my mind, there is nothing so illiberal, and so ill-bred, as audible laughter.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
Advice is seldom welcome; and those who want it the most always want it the least.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
Being pretty on the inside means you don't hit your brother and you eat all your peas - that's what my grandma taught me.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than by their understandings.

Quote by -Philip Stanhope
Custom has made dancing sometimes necessary for a young man; therefore mind it while you learn it, that you may learn to do it well, and not be ridiculous, though in a ridiculous act.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
The difference between a man of sense and a fop is that the fop values himself upon his dress; and the man of sense laughs at it, at the same time he knows he must not neglect it.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
If you can once engage people's pride, love, pity, ambition on your side, you need not fear what their reason can do against you.
Quote by -Philip Stanhope
