I am come, young ladies, in a very moralizing strain, to observe that our pleasures of this world are always to be for, and that we often purchase them at a great disadvantage, giving readi-monied actual happiness for a draft on the future, that may not be honoured.

It's been many years since I had such an exemplary vegetable.

Every man is surrounded by a neighborhood of voluntary spies.

If any young men come for Mary or Kitty, send them in, for I am quite as leisure.

From politics it was an easy step to silence.

You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.

You expect me to account for opinions which you choose to call mine, but which I have never acknowledged.
