I would rather have young people settle on a small income at once, and have to struggle with a few difficulties together, than be involved in a long engagement.

The most incomprehensible thing in the world to a man, is a woman who rejects his offer of marriage!

She was without any power, because she was without any desire of command over herself.

Do not give way to useless alarm; though it is right to be prepared for the worst, there is no occasion to look on it as certain.

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.

Respect for right conduct is felt by every body.
