What is your sex's earliest, latest care,
More quotes by George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton
None without hope e'er lov'd the brightest fair:
But Love can hope, where Reason would despair.
Where none admire, 'tis useless to excel;
Where none are beaux, 'tis vain to be a belle.
Seek to be good, but aim not to be great;
A woman’s noblest station is retreat.

Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.
'Tis pride, rank pride, and haughtiness of soul:
I think the Romans call it Stoicism.
No place affords a more striking conviction of the vanity of human hopes than a public library.
