If Faith Produce No Works, I See

Prayer Is Not Eloquence, But Earnestness; Not The Definition Of Helplessness, But The Feeling Of It; Not Figures Of Speech, But Earnestness Of Soul.

It Is The Large Aggregate Of Small Things Perpetually Occurring That Robs Me Of All My Time. The Expense Of Learning To Read Might Have Been Spared In My Education, For I Never Read.

The Education Of The Present Race Of Females Is Not Very Favorable To Domestic Happiness. For My Own Part, I Call Education, Not That Which Smothers A Woman With Accomplishments, But That Which Tends To Consolidate A Firm And Regular System Of Character; That Which Tends To Form A Friend, A Companion, And A Wife.

Indeed, I Have, Alas! Outlived Almost Every One Of My Contemporaries. One Pays Dear For Living Long.

The Ingenuity Of Self-deception Is Inexhaustible.
