Lord Chesterfield Quotes:
Ocupation: British Statesman
Life: September 22, 1694 - March 24, 1773
Birthday: September 22
Death: March 24
Cultivate the habit of thinking ahead, and of anticipating the necessary and immediate consequences of all your actions.... Likewise in your pleasures, ask yourself what such and such an amusement leads to, as it is essential to have an objective in everything you do. Any pastime that contributes nothing to bodily strength or to mental alertness is a totally ridiculous, not to say, idiotic, pleasure.
