Where the heart is really attached, I know very well how little one can be pleased with the attention of any body else.

I have not wanted syllables where actions have spoken so plainly.

A sick child is always the mother's property; her own feelings generally make it so.

It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before.

I should infinitely prefer a book.

I would much rather have been merry than wise.

Beware how you give your heart.
