If We Mean To Have Heroes, Statesmen

These Are The Times When A Genius Wants To Live.

If We Mean To Have Heroes, Statesmen And Philosophers, We Should Have Learned Women. The World Perhaps Would Laugh At Me, And Accuse Me Of Vanity, But You I Know Have A Mind Too Enlarged And Liberal To Disregard The Sentiment. If Much Depends As Is Allowed Upon The Early Education Of Youth And The First Principals Which Are Instill'd Take The Deepest Root, Great Benefit Must Arise From Literary Accomplishments In Women.

If We Expect To Inherit The Blessings Of Our Fathers, We Should Return A Little More To Their Primitive Simplicity Of Manners.

I Desire You Would Remember The Ladies, And Be More Generous And Favourable To Them Than Your Ancestors. Do Not Put Such Unlimited Power Into The Hands Of The Husbands. Remember All Men Would Be Tyrants If They Could... That Your Sex Are Naturally Tyrannical Is A Truth So Thoroughly Established As To Admit Of No Dispute, But Such Of You As Wish To Be Happy Willingly Give Up The Harsh Title Of Master For The More Tender And Endearing One Of Friend.

To Be Good, And Do Good, Is The Whole Duty Of Man Comprised In A Few Words.
