George-isms

This is a list of 110 rules for living that George Washington wrote down when he was 14 years old and tried his best to follow all his life. This book provides all of the original rules, as well as a "translation" into modern vernacular English. Some of them are funny and out-of-date, but many of them still provide for modern Americans the kind of moral and ethical guidance that steered the character of our Founding Father.

• Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior, a slightly classier copy of the rules, without the modern wording.
