To feel, to love, to suffer, to devote herself will always be the text
of the life of women.--BALZAC.
All a woman has to do in this world is contained within the duties of
a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother.--STEELE.
I have always said it--nature meant to make woman its master-piece.
--LESSING.
The Christian religion alone contemplates the conjugal union in the
order of nature; it is the only religion which presents woman to man
as a companion; every other abandons her to him as a slave. To
religion alone do European women owe their liberty.--ST. PIERRE.
Nature has given women two painful but heavenly gifts, which
distinguish them, and often raise them above human nature,--compassion
and enthusiasm. By compassion, they devote themselves; by enthusiasm
they exalt themselves.--LAMARTINE.
The brain women never interest us like the heart women; white roses
please less than red.--HOLMES.
There is nothing by which I have, through life, more profited than by
the just observations, the good opinion, and the sincere and gentle
encouragement of amiable and sensible women.--ROMILLY.
WORDS.--A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up
anger.--PROVERBS 15:1.
My words fly up, my thoughts remain below,
Words, without thoughts, never to Heaven go.
--SHAKESPEARE.
We should be as careful of our words as of our actions, and as far
from speaking ill as from doing ill.
