If a man’s innate self-respect will not save him from habitual, disgusting intoxication, all the female influence in the universe would not avail. Man’s will, like woman’s, is stronger than his affection, and once subjugated by vice, all external influence will be futile.

More quotes by Augusta Wilson

Money is everything in this world to some people, and more than the next to other poor souls.

The only wards I ever knew happen to be fictitious characters.

It is a mournful thing to know that you are utterly isolated among millions of human beings; that not a drop of your blood flows in any other veins.

Oh! what a luxury it is to weep,
And find in tears a sad relief!

Oh! Duty is an icy shadow. It will freeze you. It cannot fill the heart's sanctuary.
