Any woman who is sure of her own wits, is a match, at any time, for a man who is not sure of his own temper.

But, ah me! where is the faultless human creature who can persevere in a good resolution, without sometimes failing and falling back?

I am a bundle of nerves dressed up to look like a man!

Women can resist a man's love, a man's fame, a man's personal appearance, and a man's money, but they cannot resist a man's tongue when he knows how to talk to them.

It is one of my rules in life, never to notice what I don't understand.

Any woman who is sure of her own wits, is a match, at any time, for a man who is not sure of his own temper.

The best men are not consistent in good-- why should the worst men be consistent in evil.
