History is not a web woven with innocent hands. Among all the causes which degrade and demoralize men, power is the most constant and most active.

Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could.

If we mean to have heroes, statesmen and philosophers, we should have learned women.

Great difficulties may be surmounted by patience and perseverance.

A people may let a king fall, yet still remain a people, but if a king let his people slip from him, he is no longer a king.

No one is without their difficulties, whether in High, or low Life, & every person knows best where their own shoe pinches.

My bursting heart must find vent at my pen.
