"Crankisms"



13
Like does not always worship like: Beauty often worships the
Beast.

14
We were all in the front row when modesty was served out--at
least we think so.

15
Because some men are ruined by intemperance it does not
follow that all should become abstainers, any more than
because some men are ruined by marriage all men should
remain single.

16
What men see in women or women in men to admire is generally
a puzzle to those who know the men and women in question
intimately.

17
The only compliment which a woman really dislikes is that
which is paid to another.

18
Things have changed since Shakespeare's time: men's evil
deeds we write in sympathetic ink; their virtues on marble
tombstones.

19
Our own weaknesses we regard as misfortunes from which we
cannot escape; the weaknesses of others we consider crimes.

20
No matter how well we do, we are sure to be anxious to
impress upon others that what we have achieved is trifling--
compared with that of which we are capable.

21
A woman is not a woman merely by reason of her sex, any more
than an angel is of necessity an angel of light.

22
We are quite able, while hating sin, to pity and be
charitable to the sinner--when we happen to be the sinner
concerned.
