Cant is the parrot talk of a profession.

Women have their heads in their hearts. Man seems to have been destined for a superior being; as things are, I think women generally better creatures than men. They have weaker appetites and weaker intellects but much stronger affections. A man with a bad heart has been sometimes saved by a strong head; but a corrupt woman is lost forever.

Call not that man wretched, who whatever else he suffers as to pain inflicted, or pleasure denied, has a child for whom he hopes and on whom he doats.

A man's desire is for the woman, but the woman's desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.

That only can with propriety be styled refinement which, by strengthening the intellect, purifies the manners.

The one red leaf, the last of its clan, That dances as often as dance it can, Hanging so light, and hanging so high, On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky.

Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree.
