More quotes by Lady Hester Stanhope

Nobody is such a fool as to moider away his time in the slip-slop conversation of a pack of women.

It is only the vulgar who are always fancying themselves insulted. If a man treads on another's toe in good society, do you think it is taken as an insult?

I have nothing to fear… I am the sun, the stars, the pearl, the lion, the light from heaven.

A poor gentlewoman, doctor, is the worst thing in the world

I shall not allow the pension… to be stopped by force: I shall resign it
