George Washington’s Rules for Civility
Today starts the beginning of President’s week in the U.S. It is the time we honor President’s George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Both of these men are well-known and left quite a legacy. Their beliefs emphasized freedom for individuals and certainly helped form the foundation of America. They also believed in consideration for others and talked about “civility”; a word that is still buzzing today.

Etiquette books have been around for thousands of years. The behavior they promote is as relevant today, as it was in generations past. Take a look at Washington’s Rules of Civility and see what you think.

Civility and decent behavior helps support a society and civilization. Without it we are certainly at risk for perishing.
