It is little men know of women their smiles and their tears alike are seldom what they seem.

It is little men know of women their smiles and their tears

Summary

This quote suggests that people, particularly men, have limited understanding of women. It implies that women's expressions, such as their smiles and tears, can often be misleading or deceptive, leading men to misconstrue their true emotions and intentions. It implies that there is a complexity to women's emotions and presentations, which may not be fully comprehended or appreciated by others. The quote hints at the notion that people, regardless of gender, should be cautious when interpreting emotions displayed by others, as they may not always be a true reflection of their inner thoughts and feelings.
