I am about to be married, and am of course in all the misery of a man in pursuit of happiness.

Sighing that Nature formed but one such man, and broke the die.

What a strange thing man is; and what a stranger thing woman.

A man must serve his time to every trade: Save Censure- Critics all are ready made

I think the worst woman that ever existed would have made a man of very passable reputation - they are all better than us and their faults such as they are must originate with ourselves.

I have always laid it down as a maxim /and found it justified by experience /that a man and a woman make far better friendships than can exist between two of the same sex /but then with the condition that they never have made or are to make love to each other.
