Things We Wish To Be True Are

It May Be Very Generous In One Person To Offer What It Would Be Ungenerous In Another To Accept.

What We Want To Tell, We Wish Our Friend To Have Curiosity To Hear.

Whenever We Approve, We Can Find A Hundred Good Reasons To Justify Our Approbation. Whenever We Dislike, We Can Find A Thousand To Justify Our Dislike.

The Longer A Woman Remains Single, The More Apprehensive She Will Be Of Entering Into The State Of Wedlock. At Seventeen Or Eighteen, A Girl Will Plunge Into It, Sometimes Without Either Fear Or Wit; At Twenty, She Will Begin To Think; At Twenty-four, Will Weigh And Discriminate; At Twenty-eight, Will Be Afraid Of Venturing; At Thirty, Will Turn About, And Look Down The Hill She Has Ascended, And Sometimes Rejoice, Sometimes Repent, That She Has Gained That Summit Sola.

There Is But One Pride Pardonable; That Of Being Above Doing A Base Or Dishonorable Action.
