WHAT GREAT MEN HAVE SAID ABOUT WOMEN
HALDEMAN-JULIUS COMPANY GIRARD. KANSAS
SHAKESPEARE.
Where is any author in the world Teaches such beauty as a woman's eye?
_Love's Labour's Lost, A. 4, S. 3._
The idea of her life shall sweetly creep Into his study of imagination; And every lovely organ of her life Shall come apparel'd in more precious habit, More moving-delicate, and full of life, Into the eye and prospect of his soul.
_Much Ado About Nothing, A. 4, S. 1._
Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love.
_Taming of the Shrew, A. 4, S. 2._
Win her with gifts, if she respect not words; Dumb jewels often, in their silent kind, More than quick words, do move a woman's mind.
_Two Gentlemen of Verona, A. 3, S. 1._
You, that have so fair parts of woman on you, Have too a woman's heart: which ever yet Affected eminence, wealth, sovereignty.
_Henry VIII., A. 2, S. 3._
'Tis beauty that doth oft make women proud; 'Tis virtue that doth make them most admired.
_Henry VI., Pt. 3, A. 1, S. 4._
From woman's eyes this doctrine I derive; They sparkle still the right Promethean fire; They are the books, the arts, the academes, That show, contain, and nourish all the world.
_Love's Labour's Lost, A. 4, S. 3._
Her voice was ever soft, Gentle, and low: an excellent thing in woman.
_King Lear, A. 5, S. 3._
Have you not heard it said full oft, A woman's nay doth stand for naught?
_The Passionate Pilgrim, Line 14._
Thou shalt find she will outstrip all praise, And make it halt behind her.
_The Tempest, A. 4. S. 1._
Good name in man and woman, Is the immediate jewel of their souls.
_Othello, A. 3, S. 3._
Women are soft, pitiful, and flexible.
_Henry VI., Pt. 3, A. 1. S. 4._
Such duty as the subject owes the prince, Even such a woman oweth to her husband; And, when she's froward, peevish, sullen, sour, And not obedient to his honest will, What is she, but a contending rebel, And graceless traitor to her loving lord?
_Taming of the Shrew, A. 5, S. 2._
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety: other women cloy The appetites they feed: but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies.
_Antony and Cleopatra, A. 2, S. 2._
She's beautiful, and therefore to be wooed; She is a woman, therefore to be won.
_Henry VI., Pt. 1, A. 5, S. 3._
Say, that she rail; why, then I'll tell her plain She sings as sweetly as a nightingale; Say, that she frown; I'll say, she looks as clear As morning roses newly wash'd with dew; Say, she be mute, and will not speak a word; Then I'll commend her volubility, And say she uttereth piercing eloquence.
