A woman does not spend all her time in buying things; she spends part of it in taking them back.

At first a woman doesn't want anything but a husband, but just as soon as she gets one, she wants everything else in the world.

A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.

One of the magnanimities of woman is to yield.

There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

A woman, the more curious she is about her face, is commonly the more careless about her house.

There's no effrontery like that of a woman caught in the act; her very guilt inspires her with wrath and insolence.

Never praise a sister to a sister, in the hope of your compliments reaching the proper ears.

If a handsome woman allows that another woman is beautiful, we may safely conclude she excels her.
