A kiss for a blow is always best, though it's not very easy to give it sometimes.

Don't cry so bitterly, but remember this day, and resolve with all your soul that you will never know another like it.

Don't shut yourself up in a band box because you are a woman, but understand what is going on, and educate yourself to take part in the world's work, for it all affects you and yours.

…men never forgive like women.

I'm tired of praise; and love is very sweet, when it is simple and sincere like this.
