One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend one human soul whom we can trust utterly who knows the best and worst of us and who loves us in spite of all our faults.

Beauty is the still birth of suffering every woman knows that.

There's a difference between beauty and charm. A beautiful woman is one I notice. A charming woman is one who notices me.

What breadth what beauty and power of human nature and development there must be in a woman to get over all the palisades all the fences within which she is held captive!

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

And often it would be a woman who was in her 70s or 80s who would win the beauty contest because bound feet never age.

A woman's beauty is one of her great missions.

Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus there exists no beautiful woman none at all because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.

I really admire a woman for her intelligence her personality. Beauty is not enough.
