My Dear Sir,
You are neither as bad nor as good a fellow as you imagine yourself to be.

1. General Habits

Don’t be conceited about your good looks.  It is more than probable that no one but yourself is aware of them; anyway, you are not responsible for them, and vanity in a man is ridiculous.

My Dear Sir,
You are neither as bad nor as good a fellow as you imagine yourself to be.

1.- General Habits

Don’t take it out on your poor wife every time you have a headache or a cold.  It isn’t her fault, and she has enough to do in nursing you, without having to put up with ill-humour in the bargain.
