Look not to a woman's head for her brains, but rather to her heart.

As soon as a woman begins to dress "loud," her manners and conversation partake of the same element.

If you have a thrust to make at your friend's expense, do it gracefully, it is all the more effective. Some one says the reproach that is delivered with hat in hand is the most telling.

Circumstances alter cases.

Money is a necessity; so is dirt.

There is the kiss of welcome and of parting, the long, lingering, loving, present one; the stolen, or the mutual one; the kiss of love, of joy, and of sorrow; the seal of promise and receipt of fulfillment.

Ceremony is all backbone.
