Men who always praise women do not know them well; men who always speak ill of them do not know them at all.
What particularly flatters the vanity of women is to know that some men love them and dare not tell them so. However, they do not always insist on those men remaining silent for ever.
The saddest spectacle that the world can offer is that of a sweet, sensible, intelligent woman married to a conceited, tyrannical fool.
The mirror is the only friend who is allowed to know the secrets of a woman's imperfections.
When a woman is deeply in love, the capacity of her heart for charity is without limit. If all women were in love there would be no poverty on the face of the earth.
