Religion is indeed woman's panoply; no one who wishes her happiness would divest her of it; no one who appreciates her virtues would weaken her best security.

Fine manners are like personal beauty,--a letter of credit everywhere.

Beauty is no local deity, like the Greek and Roman gods, but omnipresent.

Father, mother, child, are the human trinity, whose substance must not be divided nor its persons confounded. As well reconstruct your granite out of the grains it is disintegrated into as society out of the dissolution of wedded love.

Private sincerity is a public welfare.

Hope is the parent of Faith.

Temperance to be a virtue must be free, and not forced.
