Women do not often have it in their power to give like men, but they forgive like Heaven.

Love is the pass-key to the heart.

One of the first observations to make in conversation is the state, or the character, and the education of the person to whom we speak.

Where love and wisdom drink out of the same cup, in this everyday world, it is the exception.

In looking around me seeking for miserable resources against the heaviness of time, I open a book and I say to myself, as the cat to the fox: I have only one good turn, but I need no other.

Want of perseverance is the great fault of women in everything--morals, attention to health, friendship, and so on. It cannot be too often repeated that women never reach the end of anything through want of perseverance.

The more heart, the more sorrow.
