George Washington’s Rules of Civility Magnet: “When a man…”

George Washington’s Rules of Civility Magnet: “When a man…”

Regular Price: $4.50

Sale Price: $1.99

When George Washington was about 12 years old, he copied a list of resolutions from a classical source as a penmanship exercise.  Impressed with these 110 simple rules, the young George Washington embarked on a lifetime of proper behavior in which good manners and etiquette guided him through two wars, the presidency, and the life of a Virginia gentleman at Mount Vernon.  This 3” x 2 ¼” magnet has a raised picture of detail from a battle scene with George Washington and the rule, “When a man does all he can though it Succeeds not well blame not him that did it”.
