"Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one."
"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."
"But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in their mouths."
