What Is Meat For One Is Not

History Is Not A Web Woven With Innocent Hands. Among All The Causes Which Degrade And Demoralize Men, Power Is The Most Constant And Most Active.

Men Of Sense In All Ages Abhor Those Customs Which Treat Us Only As The Vassals Of Your Sex.

You Cannot Know, Should I Discribe To You; The Feelings Of A Parent . . . . Four Years Have Already Past Away Since You Left Your Native Land, And This Rural Cottage-humble Indeed, When Compared To The Palaces You Have Visited, And The Pomp You Have Been Witness To. But I Dare Say You Have Not Been So Inattentive An Observer, As To Suppose That Sweet Peace, And Contentment, Cannot Inhabit The Lowly Roof, And Bless The Tranquil Inhabitants, Equally Guarded And Protected, In Person And Property, In This Happy Country, As Those Who Reside In The Most Elegant And Costly Dwellings.

Posterity Who Are To Reap The Blessings Will Scarcely Be Able To Conceive The Hardships And Sufferings Of Their Ancestors.

I Am More And More Convinced That Man Is A Dangerous Creature.
