"Where there are no women there are..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Certain books seem to be written, not that we might learn from them, but in order that we might see how much the author knows.”

“The little man is still a man.”

“All is born of water; all is sustained by water.”

“We hear a great deal about the rudeness of the rising generation. I am an oldster myself and might be expected to take the oldsters' side, but in fact I have been far more impressed by the bad manners of parents to children than by those of children to parents.”

“Manners are very communicable: men catch them from each other.”

“The basis of good manners is self-reliance. Necessity is the law of all who are not self-possessed.”

“Men have hitherto treated women like birds which have strayed down to them from the heights; as something more delicate, more fragile, more savage, stranger, sweeter, soulful--but as something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away.”

“I'll bet you the time ain't far off when a woman won't know any more than a man.”

“The common foible of women who have been handsome is to forget that they are no longer so.”
