Because I imagine there must be only a very, very few men in the world, that I should like to marry and of those few, it is ten to one I may never be acquainted with one or if I should, it is twenty to one he may not happen to be single, or to take a fancy to me.

I still preserve those relics of past sufferings and experience, like pillars of witness set up in travelling through the valve of life, to mark particular occurrences.

There is such a thing as looking through a person's eyes into the heart, and learning more of the height, and breadth, and depth of another's soul in one hour than it might take you a lifetime to discover, if he or she were not disposed to reveal it, or if you had not the sense to understand it.

Such humble talents as God had given me I will endeavour to put to their greatest use if I am able to amuse, I will try to benefit too and when I fell it my duty to speak unpalatable truth, with the help of God, I will speak it, through it be to the prejudice of my name and to the detriment of my reader's immediate pleasure as well as my own.
