Nature has given women two painful but heavenly gifts, which distinguish them, and often raise them above human nature,--compassion and enthusiasm. By compassion, they devote themselves; by enthusiasm they exalt themselves.

Private passions tire and exhaust themselves, public ones never.

My dog! the difference between thee and me knows only our Creator.

Civil wars leave nothing but tombs.

If God is thy father, human beings are thy brothers and sisters.

Providence conceals itself in the details of human affairs, but becomes unveiled in the generalities of history.

Men are misers, and women prodigal, in affection.
