Whoever is in a hurry shows that the thing he is about is too big for him - Philip Dormer Stanhope

An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.

Women then are only children of a larger growth ; they have an entertaining tattle and sometimes wit , but for solid , reasoning good - sense , I never knew in my life one that had it , or who reasoned or acted consequentially for four -and-twenty hours together. Some little passion or humour always breaks in upon their best resolutions... No flattery is too high or low for them...

I wish to God that you had as much pleasure in following my advice, as I have in giving it to you.
