We should only endeavour to think and speak correctly ourselves, without wishing to bring others over to our taste and opinions.
A coquette is one that is never to be persuaded out of the passion she has to please, nor out of a good opinion of her own beauty: time and years she regards as things that only wrinkle and decay other women, forgetting that age is written in the face, and that the same dress which became her when she was young now only makes her look older.
We seek our happiness outside ourselves, and in the opinion of men we know to be flatterers, insincere, unjust, full of envy, caprice and prejudice.
It is often easier as well as more advantageous to conform to other men's opinions than to bring them over to ours.
