"If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion,..." — Abigail Adams

I begin to think, that a calm is not desirable in any situation in life. Man was made for action and for bustle too, I believe.

A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world.

Great necessities call out great virtues.

We have too many high-sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.
