When the Hymalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride,
  He shouts to scare the monster, who will often turn aside.
    But the she-bear thus accosted, rends the peasant tooth and nail,
      For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
      - Rudyard Kipling, The Female of the Species

A woman is easily governed, if a man takes her in hand.
      - Jean de la Bruyere

An inconstant woman is one who is no longer in love; a false woman is one who is already in love with another person; a fickle woman is she who neither knows whom she loves nor whether she loves or not; and the indifferent woman, one who does not love at all.
      - Jean de la Bruyere

The majority of women have no principles of their own; they are guided by the heart, and depend for their own conduct, upon that of the men they love.

Men are misers, and women prodigal, in affection.
