t more does

* * * * *

There is no _esprit de corps_ among women.

* * * * *

America is the only country where you hear women speak well of their
sex. It speaks volumes for them, and it enables American men to be
polite and even gallant, and do the same.

* * * * *

Woman is made to love and to be loved. She may live on love and die of
it. For a man, love is the occupation of a few moments; for a woman,
love is the occupation of a lifetime.

* * * * *

If a man hears men speak ill of women, he should, before joining in the
chorus, remember his mother. Then he will be sure to take their
defence.

* * * * *

Women should have two great aims in life: trying to be beautiful and
succeeding in being pleasant.

* * * * *

Whether I think of woman as a grandmother, a mother, a wife, a
sweetheart, or even a little girl who, by-and-by, will bear all these
titles in succession, I believe that men ought to spend most of their
spare time in strewing with flowers the ground upon which a woman is
about to tread.

* * * * *

There are men who complain that roses have thorns. They should be
grateful to know that thorns have roses.

* * * * *

The roses of life are the women.
