The Mentor - A little book for the guidance of such men and boys as would appear to advantage in the society of persons of the better sort
To be welcome in the society of persons of the better sort, who are always persons of culture and refinement, we must ourselves be persons of culture and refinement, i.e., we must know and practise the usages that obtain in refined society, and have some acquaintance with letters and art. In this world it is only like that seeks like. Those that have nothing in common, whose culture and breeding are unlike, whose thoughts are on different things, never seek the society of one another. What points of sympathy are there between the town gallant and the country spark, between the city belle and the dairymaid? If one would be received in the better social circles, ones culture must be of the kind found there, and, above all, ones manners must be marked by the observ[4]ance of those usages that are to refined social commerce what the oil is to the engine. It is often said that wealth is the surest passport to the better circles of society. Nothing could be further from the truth. The surest passport to the better circles of society is moral worth, supplemented with education, a thing that is made up of two other thingsinstruction and breeding. True, a little money is necessary to make ones self presentable, but this little will always suffice. Wealth, we know, contributes greatly to mens social success, and for good and obvious reasons; but it does not contribute more to social success than does distinction in intellectual pursuits. Laudable achievements will ever have quite as large a following as plethoric purses. Lands and goods are not the things we set the highest value on, many as there are that seem to think so. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
