A Girl's Affections Should Never Be Won

You Cannot Expect Stone To Be As Pliable As Clay.

This Paper Will Serve Instead Of A Confidential Friend Into Whose Ear I Might Pour Forth The Overflowings Of My Heart. It Will Not Sympathize With My Distresses, But Then, It Will Not Laugh At Them, And, If I Keep It Close, It Cannot Tell Again; So It Is, Perhaps, The Best Friend I Could Have For The Purpose.

When A Lady Condescends To Apologise, There Is No Keeping One’s Anger.

But He That Dares Not Grasp The Thorn Should Never Crave The Rose.

I Love The Silent Hour Of Night, For Blissful Dreams May Then Arise, Revealing To My Charmed Sight What May Not Bless My Waking Eyes.
