Every woman is supposed to have the same
set of motives, or else to be a monster.
?George Eliot
He never does a proper thing without
giving an improper reason for it.
?George Bernard Shaw
We would often be ashamed of our finest
actions if the world understood all the
motives which produced them.
?François Duc de La Rochefoucauld
We like so much to hear people talk
of us and of our motives, that we are
charmed even when they abuse us.
?Marie de Sevigne
We are all selfish and I no more trust
myself than others with a good motive.
?Lord Byron
