Selected and arranged by topic, these quotations provide an entertaining introduction to the thought and character of Americaâe(tm)s founding mother. They are accompanied by a biographical introduction, source notes, chronology, and a comprehensive index, making this book the primary resource for those meeting this remarkable woman for the first time as well as for her longtime admirers. âeoeThe Service of this Government is not a Bed of Roses, in any department of it.âe âeoeA Nation which does not respect itself, cannot expect to receive it from others.âe âeoeGentlemen are not half as particular as the Ladies are in their details.âe âeoeNo woman of sense will ever make her Husband an object of Ridicule; for in proportion as she lowers him she lessens herself.âe âeoeA woman may forgive the man she loves an indiscretion, but never a neglect.âe âeoeThere is no musick sweeter in the Ears of parents, than the well earned praises of their children.âe âeoeBetter is a little contentment than great Treasure; and trouble therewith.âe âeoeTime, which improves youth, every year furrows the brow of age."
