Mannerly Advice from the Father of our Country

A guest on the Colbert show just made reference to "George Washington's Rule of Behavior" , which I had never heard of, but here they are, and they are actually fascinating.  

Our first president did not originate these maxims or "Rules of Civility & Decent Behaviour 
In Company and Conversation", but is often credited for his copy of them, originally made, it is alleged, when he was a school boy in his teens.
