He that hath ears to hear, let him stuff them with cotton.

When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.

'Tis strange what a man may do and a woman yet think him an angel

The two most engaging powers of an author are to make new things familiar, familiar things new.

Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.

And oh, what a mercy it is that these women do not exercise their powers oftener! We can't resist them, if they do. Let them show ever so little inclination, and men go down on their knees at once: old or ugly, it is all the same. And this I set down as a positive truth. A woman with fair opportunities, and without an absolute hump, may marry whom she likes. Only let us be thankful that the darlings are like the beasts of the field, and don't know their own power. They would overcome us entirely if they did.

To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; to forego even ambition when the end is gained - who can say this is not greatness?

Who misses, or who wins the prize?
Go, lose and conquer as you can:
But if you fail, or if you rise,
Be each, pray God, a gentleman.
