George Washington's 15th Rule of Civility

I'll just pick up where I left off...
This is the 15th rule that George Washington writes to all men and women. I believe that if we follow these rules we will become better in our manners and more considerate and respectful of others. What George Washington emphasizes more than anything is that we should have more respect for one another. Read and find out.

15th: "Keep your nails clean and short, also your hands and teeth clean, yet without showing any great concern for them."

Again, this is dealing with showing respect to others by keeping yourself clean.
This is also such a good rule for myself. I often forget to keep my teeth clean (or brush them) and trim my nails (this rule might not apply too much for ladies). Anyway, when I finally notice that my nails are short, I then cut them the wrong way! That is, I bite them. Oh! I have lots to learn!
