My sore throats are always worse than anyone's.

An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged; no harm can be done.

A man would always wish to give a woman a better home than the one he takes her from; and he who can do it, where there is no doubt of her regard, must, I think, be the happiest of mortals.

We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure.

The power of doing anything with quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any attention to the imperfection of the performance.
