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

Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.

People of little understanding are most apt to be angry when their sense is called into question.

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 eye is the casement at which the heart generally looks out. Many a woman who will not show herself at the door, has tipt the sly, the intelligible wink from the window.

Men and women are brothers and sisters; they are not of different species; and what need be obtained to know both, but to allow for different modes of education, for situation and constitution, or perhaps I should rather say, for habits, whether good or bad.

Men generally are afraid of a wife who has more understanding than themselves.
