Rich men without convictions are more dangerous in modern society than poor women without chastity.

A tranquil woman can go on sewing longer than an angry man can go on fuming.

Gentle Jesus, meek and mild' is a snivelling modern invention, with no warrant in the gospels.

I was always unlawful; I broke the law when I was born because my parents weren't married.

I learned more from the first stupid woman who fell in love with me than ever my brains taught me.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.

Get married, but never to a man who is home all day.
