I pay very little regard...to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person.

People that marry can never part, but must go and keep house together. People that dance only stand opposite each other in a long room for half an hour.

We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.
