People who act like angels ought to have angels to deal with.
From Samuel Richardson
Love is not a volunteer thing.
A widow's refusal of a lover is seldom so explicit as to exclude hope.
Parents sometimes make not those allowances for youth, which, when young, they wished to be made for themselves.
What we want to tell, we wish our friend to have curiosity to hear.
Nothing dries sooner than tears.
Let a man do what he will by a single woman, the world is encouragingly apt to think Marriage a sufficient amends.
Love gratified is love satisfied, and love satisfied is indifference begun.
The pleasures of the mighty are obtained by the tears of the poor.
Prejudices in disfavor of a person fix deeper, and are much more difficult to be removed, than prejudices in favor.
