Any religion which will sacrifice a certain set of human beings for the enjoyment or aggrandizement or advantage of another is no religion. It is a thing which may be allowed, but it is against true religion. Any religion which sacrifices women to the brutality of men is no religion.

I am confirmed in my division of human energies. Ambitious people climb, but faithful people build.

I never could be good when I was not happy.

When I behold the passion for ornamentation, and the corresponding power, I feel as if women had so far shown what they are bad for, rather than what they are good for.

I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness, except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.

The language of the face is not taught by the schools; it is intuitive, and to the observant is always legible.

Life is like a cup of tea, the sugar is all at the bottom!
