Nothing about me surprises me.

Women are always true, even in the midst of their greatest falsities, because they are always influenced by some natural feeling.

The fact is that love is of two kinds, one which commands, and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct, and the passion to which the one gives rise is not the passion of the other.

Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life's duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.

Too great a display of delicacy can and does sometimes infringe upon de-cency.

A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.
