Lord Chesterfield Quotes About Eyes

Quotes about: Eyes

• Mind not only what people say, but how they say it; and if you have any sagacity, you may discover more truth by your eyes than by your ears. People can say what they will, but they cannot look just as they will; and their looks frequently (reveal) what their words are calculated to conceal.

  Lord Chesterfield

  Eye, People, Mind

• Whenever I go to an opera, I leave my sense and reason at the door with my half-guinea, and deliver myself up to my eyes and my ears.

  Lord Chesterfield

  Eye, Doors, Ears

  Lord Chesterfield (1998). “Lord Chesterfield's Letters”, p.250, Oxford Paperbacks

• I have seen many people, who while you are speaking to them, instead, of looking at, and attending to you, fix their eyes upon the ceiling, or some other part of the room, look out of the window, play with a dog, twirl their snuff-box, or pick their nose. Nothing discovers a little, futile, frivolous mind more than this, and nothing is so offensively ill-bred.

  Lord Chesterfield

  Dog, Eye, Play
