“ Men lose more conquests by their own awkwardness than by any virtue in the woman. ”
The joy of the mind is the measure of its strength.
~ Ninon De L'enclos
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful.
The resistance of a woman is not always a proof of her virtue, but more frequently of her experience.
A sensible woman should be guided by her head when taking a husband, and by her heart when taking a lover.
