Spiritual pride is the most dangerous and the most arrogant of all sorts of pride.

O! what a Godlike Power is that of doing Good! I envy the Rich and the Great for nothing else!

The wisest among us is a fool in some things.

Love is a blazing, crackling, green-wood flame, as much smoke as flame; friendship, married friendship particularly, is a steady,intense, comfortable fire. Love, in courtship, is friendship in hope; in matrimony, friendship upon proof.

The coyest maids make the fondest wives.

For tutors, although they may make youth learned, do not always make them virtuous.

Those we dislike can do nothing to please us.
