Sincerity and educated b y Discretion. At all events

Beware timidity,--it is fatal.

With women, nothing is more conquering than conquest; nothing so
irresistible as resistance. On the other hand,

Resistance on the part of the woman is an effort put forth for the
purpose of defeating its own object.

* * *

A man prizes only what he has fought for. No one knows this better than
a woman. This is why

A woman's capitulation she always makes to appear as a capture. And

Where there are no defense works, a woman will erect them.

Foolish that man who does not storm entrenchments. For

Resistance on the part of a woman is a wall which a man is expected to
leap. His agility is the measure of her approbation.
