Description

“Labour to keep alive for your breast that little celestial fire referred to as sense of right and wrong.”

“Run not within the streets. . .nor with mouth open; go not upon the toes nor in a dancing fashion.”

George Washington used to be referred to as a remarkably modest and courteous man. Humility and flawless manners were so ingrained in his character that he rarely if ever acted without them.

The “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior” that governed Washington’s etiquette were by turns practical, inspirational and curious. These rules are as instructive and invaluable as of late as they were hundreds of years ago.

George Washington’s Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior includes all the text of the rules, in addition to famous Washington writings such as:

-Farewell to the Armies speech
-Inaugural Address
-Retirement Address
-Address on the End of His Presidency
