If A Woman Can Neither Love Nor

Unhappy Is That Grandeur Which Makes Us Too Great To Be Good; And That Wit Which Sets Us At A Distance From True Wisdom.

The Design Of Rhetoric Is To Remove Those Prejudices That Lie In The Way Of Truth, To Reduce The Passions To The Government Of Reasons; To Place Our Subject In A Right Light, And Excite Our Hearers To A Due Consideration Of It.

The Steps To Folly As Well As Sin Are Gradual, And Almost Imperceptible, And When We Are Once On The Decline, We Go Down Without Taking Notice On't.

To Plead For The Oppress'd And To Defend The Weak Seem'd To Me A Generous Undertaking; For Tho' It May Be Secure, 'tis Not Always Honourable To Run Over To The Strongest Party.

If A Woman Can Neither Love Nor Honour, She Does Ill In Promising To Obey.
