•res omnes timide gelideque ministrat,
Dilator, spe longus, iners, pavidusque futuri,
Difficilis, querulus, laudator temporis actl
Se puero, castigator censorque minorum."
Horace, De Arte Poetica.

•he timid and cold is in all that he doeth;
Ever behindhand, and tardy in hope; of the future distrustful;
Stiff-necked, sluggish, inert, and prone to find fault; of the times when
He was a boy ever loud in laudation, and over-much given
Sharply his juniors to censure, with words of severest reproval."]
"Those who contend against giving woman the same education as man do it on the ground that it would make the woman unfeminine, as if Nature had done her work so slightly that it could be so easily raveled and knit over. In fact, there is a masculine and feminine element in all knowledge, and a man and a woman, put to the same study, extract only what their nature fits them to see; so that knowledge can be fully orbed only when the two unite in the search and share the spoils."—Mrs. H. B. Stowe.
"I'm not denyin' the women are foolish: God Almighty made 'em to match the men."—Mrs. Poyser, in Adam Bede.
