Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The generality of virtuous women are like hidden treasures, they are safe only because nobody has sought after them.

The generality of virtuous women are like hidden treasures,

Summary

This quote suggests that virtuous women are often overlooked and underestimated because their worth is not immediately visible. Like hidden treasures, their true value remains untapped until someone puts in the effort to discover and appreciate it. The quote implies that these women's virtues and qualities go unnoticed because people may not actively seek them out, but once they are discovered, their value and significance become highly appreciated and respected. Additionally, it also highlights the importance of actively recognizing and valuing the virtues of women, rather than dismissing or disregarding them.

For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavoring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him.

My dad tells me that he took us to a pantomime when I was very, very small - panto being a sort of English phenomenon. There's traditionally a part of the show where they'll invite kids up on the stage to interact with the show. I was too young to remember this, but my dad says that I was running up onstage before they even asked us.

Someday you will read in the papers that Moody is dead. Don't you believe a word of it. At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I was born of the flesh in 1837, I was born of the spirit in 1855. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit shall live forever.
