No man is offended by another man's admiration of the woman he loves; it is the woman only who can make it a torment.
From Jane Austen
Surprises are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable.
Every man is surrounded by a neighborhood of voluntary spies.
From politics, it was an easy step to silence.
It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage.
I am afraid that the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.
Where an opinion is general, it is usually correct.
My sore throats are always worse than anyone's.
