"Half the business is done, when one has gained the heart and the affections of those with whom one is to transact it."

If you wish particularly to gain the good graces and affection of certain people, men or women, try to discover their most striking merit, if they have one, and their dominant weakness, for every one has his own, then do justice to the one, and a little more than justice to the other.

— Lord Chesterfield
