DOWNLOAD EBOOKBy age sixteen, Washington had copied out by hand, 110 Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation. They are based on a set of rules composed by French Jesuits in 1595. Anyone that might read these rules today is likely to believe a number of them silly, and likely dismiss them as being 'outdated' and more 'appropriate to a time of quills and powdered wigs than a modern age, ' but they reflect something that is increasingly difficult to find in today's high-tech world: focus. This collection of rules is ideal for today, in earnest, as they proclaim our respect for others (without needing to speak a word in most cases) and in turn give us a heightened self-esteem and the gift of self-respect. Just imagine if everyone in the nation practiced these rules. Imagine further being a beacon of hope to the world, that the entire world might embrace such a system, just how much greater a world we would have to leave to our children!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAmong the manuscript books of George Washington, preserved in the State Archives at Washington City, the earliest bears the date, written in it by himself, 1745. Washington was born February 11, 1731 O. S., so that while writing in this book he was either near the close of his fourteenth, or in his fifteenth, year. It is entitled "Forms of Writing", has thirty folio pages, and the contents, all in his boyish handwriting, are sufficiently curious. Amid copied forms of exchange, bonds, receipts, sales, and similar exercises, occasionally, in ornate penmanship, there are poetic selections, among them lines of a religious tone on "True Happiness". But the great interest of the book centres in the pages headed : "Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour in Company and Conversation". The book had been gnawed at the bottom by Mount Vernon mice, before it reached the State Archives, and nine of the 110 Rules have thus suffered, the sense of several being lost...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Labour to keep alive in your breast that little celestial fire called conscience." "Run not in the streets. . .nor with mouth open; go not upon the toes nor in a dancing fashion." George Washington was known 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 today as they were hundreds of years ago. George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior includes the complete text of the rules, as well as famous Washington writings such as: -Farewell to the Armies speech -Inaugural Address -Retirement Address -Address at the End of His Presidency
