Benevolence and feeling ennoble the most trifling actions.

Almost all women have hearts full of pity.

A lady who sets her heart upon a lad in uniform must prepare to change lovers pretty quickly, or her life will be but a sad one.

Oh, Vanity of vanities! How wayward the decrees of Fate are; How very weak the very wise, How very small the very great are!

Never marry with the expectation of changing a person.

We pass by common objects or persons without noticing them; but the keen eye detects and notes types everywhere and among all classes.

Diffidence is a sort of false modesty.
