If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself ~ all that runs over will be yours.

Women generally consider consequences in love, seldom in resentment.

Modesty is the richest ornament of a woman ... the want of it is her greatest deformity.

Pleasure is to women what the sun is to the flower; if moderately enjoyed, it beautifies, it refreshes, and it improves; if immoderately, it withers, deteriorates and destroys.

Women that are the least bashful are often the most modest.

A high degree of intellectual refinement in the female is the surest pledge society can have for the improvement of the male.

Pleasure is to a woman what the sun is to the flower: if moderately enjoyed, it beautifies, it refreshes, and it improves; if immoderately, it withers, deteriorates, and destroys. But the duties of domestic life, exercised as they must be in retirement, and calling forth all the sensibilities of the female, are perhaps as necessary to the full development of her charms, as the shade and the shower are to the rose, confirming its beauty, and increasing its fragrance.

The plainest man who pays attention to women, will sometimes succeed as well as the handsomest man who does not.

Women do not transgress the bounds of decorum so often as men; but when they do, they go greater lengths.
