Moral severity in women is only a dress or paint which they use to set off their beauty.

It is a wearisome disease to preserve health by too strict a regimen.

There are some persons who only disgust with their abilities, there are persons who please even with their faults.

We have more ability than will power, and it is often an excuse to ourselves that we imagine that things are impossible.

We get so much in the habit of wearing disguises before others that we finally appear disguised before ourselves.

We think very few people sensible, except those who are of our opinion.

It is not always for virtue's sake that women are virtuous.
