Minna Antrim

Man proposes, woman forecloses.

A beautiful woman delights the eye; a wise woman, the understanding; a pure one, the soul.

Women are angry if other women think too little of their lovers, and furious if they think too much.

When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.

Yield nothing to love that is denied to discretion.

Experience is a good teacher, but she sends in terrific bills.

The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.

Man forgives woman anything save the wit to outwit him.

A fool bolts pleasure, then complains of moral indigestion.

To know one's self is wisdom, but not to know one's neighbors is genius.

Love often wears a mask in order to test loyalty.

The very women who object to the morals of a notoriously beautiful actress, grow big with pride when an admirer suggests their marked resemblance to this stage beauty in physique.
