"Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love." ― Washington Irving Topic(s): Women More From Washington Irving "An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather." "Those men are most apt to be obsequious and conciliating abroad, who are under the discipline of shrews at home." "There is certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one’s position, and be bruised in a new place." More In Women "I’m not particularly a feminist, but if you get women off the animal cycle of reproduction and give them some say in how many children they’ll have, immediately the floor will rise."― Christopher Hitchens "Women don’t realize how powerful they are."― Judith Light "I have the responsibility of over four million people, and I am in a position to do good, to be able to bring about a new life for my people, and I will continue to move in that direction. It’s a burden, but it needs to be done, and you have to have the courage and wisdom to see it through."― King Abdullah II
