Being pretty on the inside means you don't hit your brother and you eat all your peas - that's what my grandma taught me.

Very ugly or very beautiful women should be flattered on their understanding, and mediocre ones on their beauty.

There is a sort of veteran women of condition, who, having lived always in the grand mode, and having possibly had some gallantries, together with the experience of five and twenty or thirty years, form a young fellow better than all the rules that can be given him.

Either a good or a bad reputation outruns and gets before people wherever they go.

There is hardly any place or any company where you may not gain knowledge, if you please; almost everybody knows some one thing, and is glad to talk about that one thing.

Every man is to be had one way or another and every woman almost anyway.

The less one has to do, the less time one finds to do it in.
