I have never understood why a woman must have a man to take her into dinner.

That's the way girls are isn't it? They swear eternal friendship, and then as soon as a man's in the case it's all forgotten.

When you are in love- everything is romantic

A girl should set her sights on a man who has money; or if not, who can expect to come into money; or if not, who has moneyed connections.

It is painful to see someone suffering what you must be suffering- watching someone you love be so cruelly hurt.

To marry is to narrow one's possibilities horribly.

If someone tries to use you as a tool, you shouldn't mind it, because it is their choice and folly, not yours.
