A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can't get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.
As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
How the mother is to be pitied who hath handsome daughters! Locks, bolts, bars, and lectures of morality are nothing to them: they break through them all. They have as much pleasure in cheating a father and mother, as in cheating at cards.
I only have two rules for my newly born daughter: she will dress well and never have sex.
Oh my son's my son till he gets him a wife, but my daughter's my daughter all her life.
The ultimate end of your education was to make you a good wife.
You teach your daughters the diameters of the planets and wonder when you are done that they do not delight in your company.
