“A woman of haughty and fierce carriage, of a nimble wit and active spirit, a very voluble tongue, more bold than a man.”
“Reproach is infinite, and knows no endSo voluble a weapon is the tongue;Wounded, we wound; and neither side can failFor every man has equal strength to rail.”
“A tongue is about the size of a bullet, but much more fierce and powerful.”
“Be as bold as the first man or [woman] to eat an oyster. ”
“A man needs a woman more than a woman needs a man.”
“That man that hath a tongue, I say is no man, if with his tongue he cannot win a woman.”
