Remember my unalterable maxim, "When we love, we always have something to say

Kjærlighet

'Tis a sort of duty to be rich, that it may be in one's power to do good, riches being another word for power.

Makt

Civility costs nothing and buys everything.

I prefer liberty to chains of diamonds.

Frihet

No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.

Pleasure

The knowledge of numbers is one of the chief distinctions between us and the brutes

Kunnskap

A face is too slight a foundation for happiness.

Intelligence has no attachment to the opinion it has formed, but only to the truth it may contain; and, knowing that error insinuates itself under the guise of truth, through the same inlets by which truth is admitted, it is ever diffident of its att

Sannhet

There is nothing can pay one for that invaluable ignorance which is the companion of youth, those sanguine groundless hopes, and that lively vanity which makes all the happiness of life.

Ungdom

There can be no situation in life in which the conversation of my dear sister will not administer some comfort to me.

Det kan inte finnas någon situation i livet där samtal med min kära syster inte kan ge mig någon tröst. (Det finns inte en situation i livet, som ett samtal med min kära syster, inte kan ge tröst åt.)

Take back the beauty and wit you bestow upon me; leave me my own mediocrity of agreeableness and genius, but leave me also my sincerity, my constancy, and my plain dealing; 'tis all I have to recommend me to the esteem either of others or myself.

Self-esteem

Whoever will cultivate their own mind will find full employment. Every virtue does not only require great care in the planting, but as much daily solicitude in cherishing as exotic fruits and flowers; the vices and passions (which I am afraid are the natural product of the soil) demand perpetual weeding. Add to this the search after knowledge... and the longest life is too short.
