[Lat., Varium et mutabile semper, Femina.] - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil), The Aeneid (IV, 569) That which an enraged woman can accomplish. [Lat., Furens quid foemina possit.] - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil), The Aeneid (V, 6) "Woman" must ever be a woman's highest name, And honors more than "Lady," if I know right. - Walter von der Vogelweide, translated in the "Minnesinger of Germany--Woman and Lady" All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women. - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire) Very learned women are to be found, in the same manner as female warriors; but they are seldom or ever inventors. - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire), A Philosophical Dictionary--Women Would you hurt a woman worst, aim at her affections. - Lewis (Lew) Wallace My wife is one of the best wimin on this Continent, altho' she isn't always gentle as a lamb with mint sauce. - Artemus Ward (pseudonym of Charles Farrar Browne), A War Meeting A woman set on anything will walk right through the moral crockery without wincing. - Charles Dudley Warner She is not old, she is not young, The Woman with the Serpent's Tongue. The haggard cheek, the hungering eye, The poisoned words that wildly fly, The famished face, the fevered hand-- Who slights the worthiest in the land, Sneers at the just, contemns the brave, And blackens goodness in its grave. - Sir William Watson (2), Woman with the Serpent's Tongue What cannot a neat knave with a smooth tale Make a woman believe? - John Webster, Duchess of Malfi (I, II) Not from his head was woman took, As made her husband to o'erlook; Not from his feet, as one designed The footstool of the stronger kind; But fashioned for himself, a bride; An equal, taken from his side. - Charles Wesley (1), Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures What's a table richly spread, Without a woman at its head? - T.

As daughter, sister, wife and mother, she holds in her hands, under God, the destinies of humanity. In the hours of gloom and sorrow we look to her for sympathy and comfort. Where shall she find strength for trial, comfort for sorrow, save in that gospel which has given a new meaning to the name of "mother," since it rested on the lips of the child Jesus? - Henry Benjamin Whipple As pure and sweet, her fair brow seemed Eternal as the sky: And like the brook's low song, her voice,-- A sound which could not die. - John Greenleaf Whittier Sweet prompting unto kindest deeds Were in her vary look; We read her face, as one who reads A true and holy book. - John Greenleaf Whittier Just watch, all of you men.

They can discover everything except the obvious. - Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde) There are only two kinds of women, the plain and the coloured. - Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde), Dorian Gray (ch. III) Oh! no one. No one in particular.
