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!

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 first vice of the first woman was curiosity, and it runs through the whole sex.

Love gratified is love satisfied, and love satisfied is indifference begun.

Those who respect age, deserve to live to be old, and to be respected themselves.

I know not my own heart if it be not absolutely free.

She who is more ashamed of dishonesty than of poverty will not be easily overcome.
