Old age is a woman's hell.
A woman is more influenced by what she divines than by what she is told.
Firmness is great; persistency is greater.
The passions do not die out; they burn out.
A sensible woman should be guided by her head when taking a husband, and by her heart when taking a lover.
If a man needs a religion to conduct himself properly in this world, it is a sign that he has either a limited mind or a corrupt heart.
