“Women's modesty generally increases with their beauty.”

“Men as a rule love with their eyes, woman with their ears.”

“Generally speaking, the greater a woman's beauty, the greater her modesty.”

“Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love.”

“The most beautiful voice in the world is that of an educated Southern woman.”
