"Women can more easily conquer their passion..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Chance corrects us of many faults that reason would not know how to correct.”

“Death and the sun are not to be looked at steadily.”

“Passion often makes a fool of the cleverest man and often makes the most foolish men clever”

“A wretched woman is more unfortunate than a wretched man.”

“If we women were particular about men's characters, we should never get married at all.”

“Woman reduces us all to the common denominator.”

“All women seem by nature to be coquettes.”

“Women can less easily surmount their coquetry than their passions.”

“Coquetry is the essential characteristic, and the prevalent humor of women; but they do not all practice it, because the coquetry of some is restrained by fear or by reason.”
