It is fine for a woman to know a lot; but I don't want her to have this shocking desire to be learned for learnedness sake. When I ask a woman a question, I like her to pretend to ignore what she really knows.

Long is the road from conception to completion.

How easy love makes fools of us.

There is no rampart that will hold out against malice.

Books and marriage go ill together.

I will not leave you until I have seen you hanged.

There is no praise to bear the sort that you put in your pocket.
