A king is always a king - and a woman always a woman: his authority and her sex ever stand between them and rational converse

The being cannot be termed rational or virtuous, who obeys any authority, but that of reason.

I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless where love animates the behaviour.

It is well for the unfortunate to be resigned, but for the guilty there is no peace. The agonies of remorse poison the luxury there is otherwise sometimes found in indulging the excess of grief.

Live, and be happy, and make others so.

The labours of men of genius, however erroneously directed, scarcely ever fail in ultimately turning to the solid advantage of mankind.
