Money

More quotes by Augusta Wilson

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.

Those who even slightly understand my character, must know that I have always been too utterly indifferent to, too unfortunately contemptuous of public opinion, to stoop to any deception in order to conciliate it.
