Whether a pretty woman grants or withholds her favors, she always likes to be asked for them.

A Woman is naturally more helpless than the other Sex; and a Man of Honour and Sense should have this in his View in all Manner of Commerce with her.

It is a wonderful thing that so many, and they not reckoned absurd, shall entertain those with whom they converse by giving them the history of their pains and aches and imagine such narrations their quota of conversation.

A woman seldom writes her mind but in her postscript

Vanity makes people ridiculous, pride odious, and ambition terrible.

A modest person seldom fails to gain the goodwill of those he converses with, because nobody envies a man who does not appear to be pleased with himself.

Pride destroys all symmetry and grace, and affectation is a more terrible enemy to fine faces than the small-pox.
