I am free in performing an action if I could have done otherwise if I had chosen to.

If I am asked 'what is good?' my answer is that good is good, and that is the end of the matter.

Beauty has wings, and too hastily flies, and love, unrewarded, soon sickens and dies.

Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

Now, in my opinion, a woman has no business with Power-Power admits no equal, and dismisses friendship for flattery. Besides, it keeps the men at a distance, and that is not always what we wish.

I am rich beyond the dreams of avarice.

Honesty needs no pains to set itself off.
