Charles Caleb Colton on women

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship⁠—never.

We hate some persons because we do not know them; and we will not know them because we hate them.

If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT’S relativity.

Albert Einstein1879–1955

It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman⁠—they remain beautiful and the rebuke recoils.
