It Is Better To Be Thought Perverse

But Let Not Those Worthy Young Women, Who May Think Themselves Destined To A Single Life, Repine Over-much At Their Lot; Since, Possibly, If They Have Had No Lovers, Or Having Had One, Two, Or Three, Have Not Found A Husband, They Have Had Rather A Miss Than A Loss, As Men Go.

The Readiness With Which Women Are Apt To Forgive The Men Who Have Deceived Other Women; And That Inconsiderate Notion Of Too Many Of Them That A Reformed Rake Makes The Best Husband, Are Great Encouragements To Vile Men To Continue Their Profligacy.

Nothing In Human Nature Is So God-like As The Disposition To Do Good To Our Fellow-creatures.

Quantity In Diet Is More To Be Regarded Than Quality. A Full Meal Is A Great Enemy Both To Study And Industry.

If Women Would Make Themselves Appear As Elegant To An Husband, As They Were Desirous To Appear To Him While A Lover, The Rake, Which All Women Love, Would Last Longer In The Husband Than It Generally Does.
