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.

Though very troublesome to others, anger is most so to him that has it.

It is an impertinent and unreasonable fault in conversation for one man to take up all the discourse.

Modesty never rages, never murmurs, never pouts; when it is ill-treated, it pines, it beseeches, it languishes.

Whoever would be wise should read the Proverbs; whoever would be holy should read the Psalms.

Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty; without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.
