If women are by nature inferior to men, their virtues 20 2| differ in respect to their nature.

An eloquent Frenchman 56 4| forget her grand destination, nature is counteracted, or she 57 4| by reversing the order of nature, which has ever made true 58 4| are the fair defects in nature; the women who appear to 59 4| that thou alone art by thy nature exalted above her, - for 60 4| however lively and true to nature.

I have met with some pertinent 66 4| bring up their offspring, nature never intended that a man 67 4| may be brought nearer to nature and reason, and become more 68 5| examine the character which nature has given to the sex.~ ~ 69 5| from an invariable law of nature, which, furnishing woman 70 5| pursuing the directions of nature, they ought indeed to act 71 5| undoubted indication of nature. I know it was Rousseau' 72 5| vice. He did not go back to nature, or his ruling appetite 73 5| These, weakening the mind, Nature was supposed to have acted 74 5| but custom has superseded nature, and a token of fear is 75 5| treats her tyrannically?

'Behold these 86 5| moralists to cultivate, as Nature directs, different qualities, 87 5| decorum is to supplant nature, and banish all simplicity 88 5| dazzle the weak; but leave nature to itself, and it will seldom 89 5| which they were destined by nature; and though he be full of 90 5| thus insults reason and nature?~ ~ Many similar opinions 91 5| appears to be the course of nature; and in morals, as well 92 5| the imperfections of our nature, we discover virtues, and 93 5| into the weaknesses of his nature. You may not, it is true, 94 5| a mean opinion of human nature; nor will he think it necessary 95 5| silently unveil the beauties of nature, refreshed by rest.~ ~ In 96 5| the constitution of his nature he would not find it very 97 5| clearer in the works of nature, in proportion as reason 98 6| where appear a defect in nature? Is it surprising, when 99 6| which they passed over in nature.~ ~ * I have sometimes, 100 6| most powerful effects in nature are apparently produced 101 6| art that have smothered nature.~ ~ Every thing that they 102 6| from the hurry of business, nature presents to them only a 103 7| presume to investigate thy nature, and trace to its covert 104 7| very constitution of her nature forbid Thy child to seek 105 7| tracing to its source in nature any prevailing custom, I 106 7| in a state of warfare, if nature have pointed it out, let 107 7| respecting subjects, which nature never intended they should 108 7| sickness, is of an humbling nature.~ ~ In order to preserve 109 7| to the majesty of human nature. Not on the score of modesty, 110 7| taught to respect the human nature of their own sex, in these 111 7| to be still a lover when nature would, had she not been 112 7| appetites and passions of their nature, they are only brutal when 113 7| mankind, not a sexual duty.

Nature must ever be the standard 117 8| appetite - yet how grossly is nature insulted by the voluptuary. 118 8| love out of the question; nature, by making the gratification 119 8| but the parental design of nature is forgotten, and the mere 120 8| or cast it off when born. Nature in every thing demands respect, 121 8| flagitiousness of manners. Surely nature never intended that women, 122 8| would be wiser to shew that nature has not made any difference, 123 8| doubly defeats the purpose of nature, by rendering women barren, 124 9| of affection and virtue. Nature has wisely attached affections 125 9| pay to virtue and the real nature of things.~ ~ To illustrate 126 9| notions of beauty, when in nature they all harmonize.~ ~ Cold 127 9| every where scattered by nature. I have then viewed with 128 9| the true dignity of its nature. Virtue is not to be acquired 129 10| the female character by nature, this duty would afford 130 11| the constitution of our nature, requires the discharge 131 11| reason is to submit to the nature of things, and to that God, 132 11| to pay the price fixed by nature? I have before had occasion 133 12| and the knowledge of human nature, supposed to be attained 134 12| instead of bounding, as nature directs to complete her 135 12| philosophers are aware of, for if nature destined woman, in particular, 136 12| some terrific feature in nature has spread a sublime stillness 137 12| for the simple beauties of nature; and they must have forcibly 138 12| they are called upon by nature to fulfil. On the contrary, 139 12| have to bring them back to nature, and their duty; and allowing 140 12| the peculiar duties which nature has assigned them.~ ~ Only 141 12| were not modelled after nature. I mean, not according to 142 12| which the statuary found in nature, and thus it might with 143 12| servile copy of even beautiful nature. Yet, independent of these 144 12| perceptible. The sympathies of our nature are strengthened by pondering 145 12| following a strong bent of nature, have acquired a portion 146 13| privilege, out of the order of nature, insisted that it was the 147 13| we are forcibly shewn the nature of vice; that thus learning 148 13| appears so contrary to the nature of God, discoverable in 149 13| knowing little of human nature, work up stale tales, and 150 13| With respect to love, nature, or their nurses, had taken 151 13| ridiculously they caricatured human nature, just opinions might be 152 13| the mistaken cunning that nature sharpens in weak heads as 153 13| indiscriminately, improve her mind. For nature has so wisely ordered things, 154 13| many ornaments to human nature have been enrolled amongst 155 13| expecting virtue where nature has not given understanding!~ ~
