Ann Radcliffe
Happiness arises in a state of peace, not of tumult.
Ann Radcliffe

Ann Radcliffe
I never trust people's assertions, I always judge of them by their actions.
Ann Radcliffe
Virtue and taste are nearly the same, for virtue is little more than active taste, and the most delicate affections of each combine in real love.
Ann Radcliffe

Ann Radcliffe
