mediocrity in nothing
     Conversationstock being a joint and common property
     Conversation will help you almost as much as books
     Converse with his inferiors without insolence
     Dance to those who pipe
     Darkness visible
     Decides peremptorily upon every subject
     Deep learning is generally tainted with pedantry
     Deepest learning, without goodbreeding, is unwelcome
     Defended by arms, adorned by manners, and improved by laws
     Deserve a little, and you shall have but a little
     Desire to please, and that is the main point
     Desirous of praise from the praiseworthy
     Desirous to make you their friend
     Desirous of pleasing
     Despairs of ever being able to pay
     Dexterity enough to conceal a truth without telling a lie
     Dictate to them while you seem to be directed by them
     Difference in everything between system and practice
     Difficulties seem to them, impossibilities
     Dignity to be kept up in pleasures, as well as in business
     Disagreeable to seem reserved, and very dangerous not to be so
     Disagreeable things may be done so agreeably as almost to oblige
     Disputes with heat
     Dissimulation is only to hide our own cards
     Distinction between simulation and dissimulation
     Distinguish between the useful and the curious
     Do as you would be done by
     Do not become a virtuoso of small wares
     Do what you are about
     Do what you will but do something all day long
     Do as you would be done by
     Do not mistake the tinsel of Tasso for the gold of Virgil
     Does not give it you, but he inflicts it upon you
     Doing, ‘de bonne grace’, what you could not help doing
     Doing what may deserve to be written
     Doing nothing, and might just as well be asleep
     Doing anything that will deserve to be written
     Done under concern and embarrassment, must be ill done
     Dress like the reasonable people of your own age
     Dress well, and not too well
     Dressed as the generality of people of fashion are
     Ears to hear, but not sense enough to judge
     Easy without negligence
     Easy without too much familiarity
     Economist of your time
     Either do not think, or do not love to think
     Elegance in one language will reproduce itself in all
     Employ your whole time, which few people do
     Endeavor to hear, and know all opinions
     Endeavors to please and oblige our fellowcreatures
     Enemies as if they may one day become one’s friends
     Enjoy all those advantages
     Equally forbid insolent contempt, or low envy and jealousy
     Ere tittering youth shall Shove you from the stage
     Establishing a character of integrity and good manners
     Even where you are sure,
