But let not those worthy young women, who may think themselves destined to a single life, repine over-much at their lot; since, possibly, if they have had no lovers, or having had one, two, or three, have not found a husband, they have had rather a miss than a loss, as men go.

The uselessness and expensiveness of modern women multiply bachelors.

There would be no supporting life were we to feel quite as poignantly for others as we do for ourselves.

To what a bad choice is many a worthy woman betrayed, by that false and inconsiderate notion, That a reformed rake makes the best husband!

The pleasures of the mighty are obtained by the tears of the poor.

Let a man do what he will by a single woman, the world is encouragingly apt to think Marriage a sufficient amends.

Honesty is good sense, politeness, amiableness,--all in one.
