“I cannot speak well enough to be unintelligible.”

“Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.”

“Nobody minds having what is too good for them.”

“He that would be a great man must learn to turn every accident to some advantage.”

“Those who do not read have no advantage over those who cannot read.”

“If one hesitates in his path, let him not proceed. Let him respect his doubts, for doubts, too, may have some divinity in them.”

“Whoever possesses abundant joy must be a good man: but he is probably not the cleverest man, although he achieves exactly what it is that the cleverest man strives with all his cleverness to achieve.”

“To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.”

“If you trust, you will be disappointed occasionally, but if you mistrust, you will be miserable all the time.”
