The mysteries of death and birth occupy women far more than is the case with men, to whom political and mercantile speculations are more congenial.

If men understood domestic economy half as well as women do, then their political economy and their entire consequent statecraft would not be the futil muddle which it is.

People read more mysteries than they do political pamphlets.

I find that men are far more vain than women.

Men come of age at sixty,women at fifteen.

Men should be bewailed at their birth, and not at their death.
