  • War is cruelty, and none can make it gentle.

  • She belongs to a race of delightful women, who never do any harm, whom everybody calls good, and who are very severe on those who do not pretend to be good.

  • Every man should have laws of his own, I should think commandments of his own, for every man has a different set of circumstances wherein to work - or worry.
