Excerpt from The Science of Culture, Vol. 2
One Sure Way of Rising in the World
"You have one sure way of rising in the world, and that is wholly within your power; make yourself necessary." These are the words of Lord Chesterfield to his son, and the man whose fame rests upon the enduring foundation that his name has become a synonym for Culture, supplemented his advice with the statement that "civility, affability, and obliging agreeable dress and manner are welcome everywhere."
In repeating this good advice to a protegee of her own, a New York dowager added: "Make yourself necessary to some one" and unpleasant to no one and she quoted an epitaph in an English churchyard reading: "She was so pleasant," as all that is necessary to say in praise of a person, in that it embraces everything good. A person without ability to express innate Culture cannot be pleasing to those who possess it, as the crudeness he might reveal would jar upon the nerves of the Cultured.
