What all your sex desire is Sovereignty.
- quote by John Dryden
What cannot a neat knave with a smooth tale Make a woman believe?
- quote by John Webster
What could a woman's head contrive Which it would not know how to excuse?
- quote by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
What mighty ills have not been done by woman! Who was't betray'd the Capitol? A woman; Who lost Mark Antony the world? A woman; Who was the cause of a long ten years' war, And laid at last old Troy in ashes? Woman; Destructive, damnable, deceitful woman!
- quote by Thomas Otway
What mighty woes To thy imperial race from woman rose.
- quote by Homer
What wilt not woman, gentle woman, dare When strong affection stirs her spirit up?
- quote by Robert Southey
When greater perils men inviron, Then women show a front of iron; And, gentle in their manner, they Do bold things in a quiet way.
- quote by Thomas Dunn English
When I say that I know women, I mean that I know that I don't know them. Every single woman I ever knew is a puzzle to me, as I have no doubt she is to herself.
- quote by William Makepeace Thackeray
When lovely woman stoops to folly, And finds too late that men betray, What charm can soothe her melancholy? What art can wash her guilt away?
- quote by Oliver Goldsmith
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.
- quote by Rudyard Kipling
