Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.

You must be fit to give before you can be fit to receive

What the heart knows today the head will understand tomorrow

A sword, a spade, and a thought should never be allowed to rust

Men come of age at sixty,women at fifteen.

The mysteries of death and birth occupy women far more than is the case with men, to whom political and mercantile speculations are more congenial.
