Be kind, pleasant, and loving, not cross, nor churlish, to your equals;
and in thus behaving yourselves, all persons will naturally desire
your familiar acquaintance; every one will be ready and willing, upon
opportunity, to assist you.
Your friends will be then all those who know you, and observe the
excellence and sweetness of your deportment. This practice, also, by
inducing a habit of obliging, will fit you for converse and society,
and facilitate and assist your dealing with men in riper years.
