The world's a theatre, the earth a stage,Which God and natur

Summary

This quote suggests that the world is like a grand stage, and humans are merely actors on it. It implies that our lives are performances, orchestrated by a higher power (God) and guided by the natural forces (nature). It speaks to the idea that our existence is transient and that we are part of a grand spectacle being played out. The quote encourages us to see our lives as an opportunity to fulfill our roles, immerse ourselves in the drama, and make the most of the time we have on this planet.

The real thinking of woman is pre-eminently practical and applied. It is something we describe as sound common sense, and is usually directed to what is close at hand and personal. In general, it can be said that feminine mentality manifests an undeveloped, childlike, or primitive character; instead of the thirst for knowledge, curiosity; instead of judgment, prejudice; instead of thinking, imagination or dreaming; instead of will, wishing. Where a man takes up objective problems, a woman contents herself with solving riddles; where he battles for knowledge and understanding, she contents herself with faith or superstition, or else she makes assumptions.
