Not only is the world informed of everything about you, but of a great deal more.

Let us people who are so uncommonly clever and learned have a great tenderness and pity for the poor folks who are not endowed with the prodigious talents which we have.

Young ladies may have been crossed in love, and have had their sufferings, their frantic moments of grief and tears, their wakeful nights, and so forth; but it is only in very sentimental novels that people occupy themselves perpetually with that passion, and I believe what are called broken hearts are a very rare article indeed.

I never knew whether to pity or congratulate a man on coming to his senses.

Remember, it's as easy to marry a rich woman as a poor woman.

Those we love can but walk down to the pier with us - the voyage we must make alone.

If I mayn't tell you what I feel, what is the use of a friend?
