I am every day more convinced that we women, if we are to be good women, feminine and amiable and domestic, are not fitted to reign; at least it is they that drive themselves to the work which it entails.

All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man.

It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.

How easy to be amiable in the midst of happiness and success.
