Good manners require space and time.

Silence and simplicity obtrude on no one, but are yet two unequaled attractions in woman.

Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.

Yet, in these autumn days when Nature expires, Here, in these veiled scenes, I find more attractions; It is a friend's sad goodbye; it is the last smile From lips that death is going to close forever!

We don't have two hearts, one for animals and one for humans ; we have one heart or we don't have any.

Civil wars leave nothing but tombs.

It is the qualities of the heart, not those of the face, that should attract us in women, because the former are durable, the latter transitory. So lovable women, like roses, retain their sweetness long after they have lost their beauty.
