I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.

Men and women are but children of a larger growth.

I've been turning it over in after-dinner speeches, but it looks awkward-it's not what people are used to-it wants a good deal of Latin to make it go down.

I think cheerfulness is a fortune in itself.

I am open to conviction on all points except dinner and debts. I hold that the one must be eaten and the other paid.

A proud woman who has learned to submit carries all her pride to the reinforcement of her submission, and looks down with severe superiority on all feminine assumption as unbecoming.

I am not resigned: I am not sure life is long enough to learn that lesson.
