| He that first cries out stop thief, is often he that has stolen the treasure. |
| He who closes his ears to the views of others shows little confidence in the integrity of his own views |
| Heav'n has no rage, like love to hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd |
| Heaven Hath no rage like a love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned |

| I chiefly made it my own care to initiate her very infancy in the rudiments of virtue, and to impress upon her tender years a young odium and aversion to the very sight of men. |
| I confess freely to you, I could never look long upon a monkey, without very mortifying reflections |
