Sir, What Does It Matter Whom I

Generosity Is The Accompaniment Of High Birth; Pity And Gratitude Are Its Attendants.

It Is The Gift Of Heaven And Not Of Reason.

As Our Self-interests Differ, So Do Our Feelings.

When A Woman Has The Gift Of Silence She Possesses A Quality Above The Vulgar. It Is A Gift Of Heaven Seldom Bestowed; Without A Little Miracle It Cannot Be Accomplished; And Nature Suffers Violence When Heaven Puts A Woman In The Humor Of Observing Silence.

He Who Allows Himself To Be Insulted Deserves To Be So; And Insolence, If Unpunished, Increases! [lat., Qui Se Laisse Outrager, Merite Qu'on L'outrage Et L'audace Impunie Enfle Trop Un Courage.]
