#33 Washington’s Rules of Civility, 2026 Updated with pet, Peeves

GW Rule #33

They that are in dignity or in office have in all places precedence but whilst they are young they ought to respect those that are their equals in birth or other qualities, though they have no public charge.

PEEVES

Respect the elder statesman or Top Dog in public service. But, if younger, they should not place themself above others.

MADAMA

It’s important to show respect for those who’ve long dedicated their careers to public service. (and not simply for their own acquisition of power). It’s also necessary that those of lesser experience not exalt themselves over others.

SANDRA

Respect needs to be earned by truly living into being of service and showing it over and over.
