"I am no more afraid of the devil than I am of a fly."

"I do not believe that there is any woman in the world who has an equal share of both understanding and grace with my sister Martha."

"I have often thought, that if I were to choose a companion for life, it should be one who had as little money as myself."

"God grant that I may never live to be useless!"

"I am not afraid of giving too much, but of giving too little."
