George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton

"Menea la cola el can, no por ti, sino por el pan."

"Women, like princes, find few real friends."

"What is your sex's earliest, latest care, Your heart's supreme ambition?—To be fair."

"Seek to be good, but aim not to be great; A woman’s noblest station is retreat."

"The lover in the husband may be lost."

"Where none admire, 'tis useless to excel; Where none are beaux, 'tis vain to be a belle."

"None without hope e'er lov'd the brightest fair: But Love can hope, where Reason would despair."

"How much the wife is dearer than the bride."

"For his chaste Muse employ'd her heaven-taught lyre None but the noblest passions to inspire, Not one immoral, one corrupted thought, One line which, dying, he could wish to blot."

"Alas! by some degree of woe We every bliss must gain: The heart can ne'er a transport know, That never feels a pain."
