“Ah! There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort.”

You must be the best judge of your own happiness.

We do not suffer by accident.

The Very first moment I beheld him, my heart was irrevocably gone.

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

If I could but know his heart, everything would become easy.

I will not say that your mulberry trees are dead; but I am afraid they’re not alive.
