Nature has hardly formed ordsprog

Nature has hardly formed a woman ugly enough to be insensible to flattery upon her person

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

Lord Chesterfield

It's nothing to be born ugly. Sensibly, the ugly woman comes to terms with her ugliness and exploits it as a grace of nature. To become ugly means the beginning of a calamity, self-willed most of the time.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954)

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

The question has been asked, 'What is a woman?' A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman is a dreamer. A woman is a planner. A woman is a maker, and a molder. A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman builds bridges. A woman makes children and makes cars. A woman writes poetry and songs. A woman is a person who makes choices.

Eleanor Holmes Norton (1937-)

Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion.

Margaret Cho (1968-)

Målet med smicker är att lugna och uppmuntra oss genom att försäkra oss om sanningen i en åsikt som vi redan har bildat om oss själva.

The aim of flattery is to soothe and encourage us by assuring us of the truth of an opinion we have already formed about ourselves.

Dame Edith Sitwell

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: / To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

The beauty of a cuckoo is in its notes, that of a woman in her unalloyed devotion to her husband, that of an ugly person in his scholarship, and that of an ascetic in his forgiveness.

Chanakya

Man is the one who desires, woman the one who is desired. This is woman's entire but decisive advantage. Through man's passions, nature has given man into woman's hands, and the woman who does not know how to make him her subject, her slave, her toy, and how to betray him with a smile in the end is not wise.

Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch (1836-)

Habit, if wisely and skillfully formed, becomes truly a second nature; but unskillfully and unmethodically depicted, it will be as it were an ape of nature, which imitates nothing to the life, but only clumsily and awkwardly

Francis Bacon, Sr. (1561-1626)

Francis Bacon, Sr.

I consider nature a vast chemical laboratory in which all kinds of composition and decompositions are formed. Vegetation is the basic instrument the creator uses to set all of nature in motion.

Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794)

Antoine Lavoisier

Wit is more necessary than beauty; and I think no young woman ugly that has it, and no handsome woman agreeable without it.

William Wycherley (1640-1716)

William Wycherley

The man who lays his hand upon a woman, Save in the way of kindness, is a wretch Whom 'twere gross flattery to name a coward

A woman's flattery may inflate a man's head a little; but her criticism goes straight to his heart, and contracts it so that it can never again hold quite as much love for her

Helen Rowland (1876-1950)

En kvinnas smicker kan svälla upp en mans huvud lite; men hennes kritik går rakt till hans hjärta och drar ihop det så att det aldrig mer kan innehålla lika mycket kärlek för henne.
