George Washington wrote out a copy of the 110 Rules of Civility in his school book when he was about 14-years old. Vote for your favorite or comment on which Rule you think is still relevant today.

These maxims originated in the late sixteenth century in France and were popularly circulated during Washington’s time. This exercise, now regarded as a formative influence in the development of his character, included guidelines for behavior in pleasant company, appropriate actions in formal situations, and general courtesies.[efn_note]MountVernon.org – The Rules of Civility: Rule Number 56[/efn_note]
