Fear Of Danger Is Ten Thousand Times

These Reflections Made Me Very Sensible Of The Goodness Of Providence To Me, And Very Thankful For My Present Condition, With All Its Hardships And Misfortunes ; And This Part Also I Cannot But Recommend To The Reflection Of Those Who Are Apt, In Their Misery, To Say, Is Any Affliction Like Mine? Let Them Consider How Much Worse The Cases Of Some People Are, And Their Case Might Have Been, If Providence Had Thought Fit.

I Hear Much Of People's Calling Out To Punish The Guilty, But Very Few Are Concerned To Clear The Innocent.

I Learned To Look More Upon The Bright Side Of My Condition, And Less Upon The Dark Side, And To Consider What I Enjoyed, Rather Than What I Wanted : And This Gave Me Sometimes Such Secret Comforts, That I Cannot Express Them ; And Which I Take Notice Of Here, To Put Those Discontented People In Mind Of It, Who Cannot Enjoy Comfortably What God Has Given Them, Because They See And Covet Something That He Has Not Given Them. All Our Discontents About What We Want Appeared To Me To Spring From The Want Of Thankfulness For What We Have.

Wit Is The Fruitful Womb Where Thoughts Conceive.

Never, Ladies, Marry A Fool. Any Husband Rather Than A Fool. With Some Other Husband You May Be Unhappy, But With A Fool You Will Be Miserable.
