Lady Reason

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or reason:

“When a lady of wealth, is seen roaming about in search of cheaper articles, or trying to beat down a shopkeeper, or making a close bargain with those she employs, the impropriety is glaring to all minds. A person of wealth has no occasion to spend time in looking for extra cheap articles; her time could be more profitably employed in distributing to the wants of others. And the practice of beating down tradespeople, is vulgar and degrading, in any one.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

“Many a man fails to become a thinker for the sole reason that his memory is too good.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
