Strana 178 - Il n'est pas bien honnête, et pour beaucoup de causes, Qu'une femme étudie et sache tant de choses. Former aux bonnes mœurs l'esprit de ses enfants, Faire aller son ménage, avoir l'œil sur ses gens, Et régler la dépense avec économie, Doit être son étude et sa philosophie.

Strana 80 - When honour is a support to virtuous principles, and runs parallel with the laws of God and our country, it cannot be too much cherished and encouraged : but when the dictates of honour are contrary to those of religion and equity, they are the greatest depravations of human nature...
Strana 51 - tis better to be lowly born, And range with humble livers in content, Than to be perked up in a glistering grief, And wear a golden sorrow.
Strana 50 - For contemplation he and valour formed, For softness she and sweet attractive grace, He for God only, she for God in him...
Strana 205 - E'en now, how dearly do I feel there may ! But what of them ? they are not made for me — The hasty flashes of contending steel Must serve instead of glances from my love, And for soft breathing sighs the cannon's roar.
Strana 191 - ... et de l'exprimer pour moi, sans qu'ils y prissent garde; et puis ils m'en donnaient tout l'honneur. Enfin ils me mettaient à mon aise; et moi qui m'imaginais qu'il y avait tant de mystère dans la politesse des gens du monde, et qui l'avais regardée comme une science qui m'était totalement inconnue et dont je n'avais nul principe, j'étais bien surprise de voir qu'il n'y avait rien de si particulier dans la leur, rien qui me fût si étranger, mais seulement quelque chose de liant, d'obligeant...
