Men should only believe half of what women say. But which half?

All women are born evil. Some just realize their potential later in life than others.

The older we women grow, the more clearly we see what men really are: hypocrites, boasters, he-goats. The older men grow, the more they doll us up with every perfection.

Faithful women are all alike, they think only of their fidelity, never of their husbands.

Only the mediocre are always at their best.

The brave men die in war. It takes great luck or judgment not to be killed. Once, at least, the head has to bow and the knee has to bend to danger. The soldiers who march back under the triumphal arches are death's deserters.
