A lucky guess is never merely luck. There is always some talent in it.

This was a lucky recollection -- it saved her from something like regret.

Better be without sense than misapply it as you do.

Men of sense, whatever you may choose to say, do not want silly wives.

A mind lively and at ease, can do with seeing nothing, and can see nothing that does not answer.

I do not know whether it ought to be so, but certainly silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way. Wickedness is always wickedness, but folly is not always folly.

Perfect happiness, even in memory, is not common.
