Men in general experience a great joy in colour. The eye needs it as much as it does light. Let any one recall the refreshing sensation one experiences when on a gloomy day the sun shines out on a particular spot on the landscape, and makes the colours of it visible. That healing powers were ascribed to coloured precious stones may have arisen out of the deep feeling of this inexpressible pleasure. Goethe.

Men like advising the women better than doing right themselves. Spurgeon.
Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest. Jean Paul.
Men, like musical instruments, seem made to be played upon. Bovee.
Men, like peaches and pears, grow sweet a little while before they begin to decay. Holmes.
Men look to what people think of them; 25 women to what they say. Hippel.
Men love at first, and most warmly; women love last and longest. This is natural enough, for nature makes women to be won, and men to win. G. W. Curtis.
