“Why does Samuel Butler say, 'Wise men never say what they think of women'? Wise men never say anything else apparently.”

“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.”

“Wise men speak when they have something to say, fools speak because they have to say something”

“Men all say, "We are wise"; but being driven forward and taken in a net, a trap, or a pitfall, they know not how to escape. Men all say, "We are wise"; but happening to choose the course of the Mean, they are not able to keep it for a round month.”

“Because women never say what they think.”

“Women are always saying,"We can do anything that men can do." But Men should be saying,"We can do anything that women can do.”

“Women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly.”

“My dear boy, no woman is a genius. Women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly. Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals.”

“Men never respect what they have made themselves. This is why an elective king never possesses the moral power of a hereditary sovereign, because he is not noble enough, that is to say he does not possess that kind of greatness independent of men and that is the work of time.”

“It's simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite.”
