No one is loved as much as you by the people. Don't waste that power.

Tell me, how can I live without my Husband any longer? This is my first awakening thought each morning, and as I watch the waves of the turbulent lake under our windows I sometimes feel I should like to go under them.

No one is loved as much as you by the people. Don't waste that power.

If you keep making jokes like that, somebody is going to shoot you, father.

My husband is not a Christian but is a religious man, I think.

I am convinced, the longer I live, that life & its blessings are not so entirely unjustly distributed, are [as] when we are suffering greatly, we are inclined to suppose.

I would rather marry a good man, a man of mind, with a hope and bright prospects ahead for position, fame and power than to marry all the houses, gold and bones in the world.
