Those who have least to do are generally the most busy people in the world.

Those we dislike can do nothing to please us.

Smatterers in learning are the most opinionated.

If the education and studies of children were suited to their inclinations and capacities, many would be made useful members of society that otherwise would make no figure in it.

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.

It is better to be thought perverse than insincere.

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