An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged; no harm can be done.

Now they were as strangers; nay worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted.

We do not suffer by accident.

I will not allow it to be more man's nature than woman's to be inconstant.

To love is to burn, to be on fire.

Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its fragrance on the desert air.

I will only add, God bless you.
