I was born 'neath a clouded star.

The reason why education is usually so poor among women of fashion is, that it is not needed for the life which they elect to lead.

I sometimes think God allows Great Britain to be unprincipled for the good of mankind.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord -

Heaven knows what I have not been through with, since I saw you-dust, dirt, dyspepsia, hotels, railroads, prairies, tobacco juice.

I have never known my husband to approve any act of mine which I myself valued.

Don't you think that the best things are already in view?
