What makes a woman beautiful is her loyalty to and her friendships with other women, and her honesty with men.

There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous.

Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.

Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later for another thing, they die earlier.

Women always excel men in that sort of wisdom which comes from experience. To be a woman is in itself a terrible experience.
