Woman has this in common with the Deity, that her ways are past finding out. Thomas Nelson Page.

Ah, that is woman's way! She incites men to a difficulty, and then appears innocently on the battlefield with bandages for the belligerents. How many of the quarrels of this world has she caused, and how few ever witnessed!

Women's lies

Mary Adams.

Often the setting of a truth most tender
In an unconscious poesy.

Owen Meredith.

'Tis ever common

That men are merriest when they are from home.

Shakespeare.

Most men, till by losing rendered sager,
Will back their own opinions by a wager.

The wisest of the wise

Listen to pretty lies

Lord Byron.

And love to hear them told;

Doubt not that Solomon

Listen'd to many a one,

Some in his youth, and more when
he grew old.

Walter Savage Landor.

There was never yet philosopher

That could endure the toothache patiently.

Shakespeare.

With most men duty means something unpleasant which the other fellow ought to do. Selected.

"Please tell the Court what you did between eight and nine o'clock on that morning."

"I gave the two children their breakfast, dressed them for school, made up their lunches, washed the dishes, made the beds, sorted the soiled linen and put it in the tubs, swept and dusted the parlor, sewed a button or two on the children's clothes, interviewed the gas man, grocer, and butcher, put off the landlord, sat down to glance over the morning paper, and then

"That will do, madam."

Horace Greeley.

The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Free men freely work;

Whoever fears God, fears to sit at ease.

Elizabeth Barret Browning.

A mechanic his labor will often discard
If the rate of his pay his dislikes;

But a clock-and its case is uncommonly hard-
Will continue to work, though it strikes.

Thomas Hood.

Of course everybody likes and respects self-made men. It is a great deal better to be made in that way than not to be made at all.

Oliver Wendell Holmes.

It is said that curiosity is a potent motive with what used to be called the gentler, and occasionally even the weaker, sex, a distinction that for some time has been passing, if it has not altogether passed away.

Thomas Nelson Page.

Was it not, for example, in the grey beginning of days, was it not woman whose mortal taste brought sin into the world and all our woe? Was not that Pandora a woman, who liberated, from the box wherein they were confined, the swarm of wingèd evils that still afflict us?

Henry Harland.

Divorce is no bar to ordinary feminine curiosity as to the whereabouts of a former partner for life.

Robert Grant.
