“As long as the women of England refuse to guide and inspire, as long as they forget their nature, and think of pleasure instead of blessing, as long as they shut their ears to the agony of the cities of this land, that they may not be disturbed in their luxury, and literature, and art, so long will men, as they have ever done, take the impulse of their lives from them, and do nothing chivalrous, nothing really self-sacrificing, nothing very noble and persistent, for the blessing of the world.
“The regeneration of society is in the power of the woman, and she turns away from it.
“All future English generations might call her blessed, and she prefers to be called fashionable.”
STOPFORD BROOKE
“Men will always be what women make them; if, therefore, you would have men great and virtuous, impress upon the minds of women what greatness and virtue are.”
ROUSSEAU
