For my part I think the Learned, and Unlearned Blockhead pretty equal; for 'tis all one to me, whether a Man talk Nonsense, or unintelligible Sense, I am diverted and edified alike by either; the one enjoys himself less, but suffers his Friends to do it more; the other enjoys himself and his own Humour enough, but will let no body else do it in his Company.

Every Body has so good an Opinion of their own Understanding as to think their own way the best.

Women are from their very infancy debarred those advantages with the want of which they are aftewards reproached, and nursed up in those vices which will hereafter be upbraided to them. So partial are men as to expect bricks when they afford no straw.

Ignorance and a narrow education lay the foundation of vice, and imitation and custom rear it up.

For certainly there cannot be a higher pleasure than to think that we love and are beloved by the most amiable and best Being.

Women need not take up with mean things, since (if they are not wanting to themselves) they are capable of the best.

That which has not a real excellency and value in it self, entertains no longer than the giddy Humour which recommended it to us holds.
