Quote by Oscar Wilde

The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.

The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him

Summary

This quote suggests that a woman's attempt to reform a man is futile and can only be achieved by making him so uninterested in life that he gives up any desire for personal growth or change. It highlights the notion that true transformation and self-improvement must come from within, and not through external influence or manipulation. It carries a skeptical tone, implying that trying to change someone in this manner is both unsuccessful and undesirable.

The law of God, as quite plainly expressed in woman's construction, is this: There shall be no limit put upon your intercourse with the other sex sexually, at any time of life. During twenty-three days in every month (in the absence of pregnancy) from the time a woman is seven years old till she dies of old age, she is ready for action, and competent. As competent as the candlestick is to receive the candle. Competent every day, competent every night. Also, she wants that candle -- yearns for it, longs for it, hankers after it, as commanded by the law of God in her heart.

Today's consumers are eager to become loyal fans of companies that respect purposeful capitalism. They are not opposed to companies making a profit indeed, they may even be investors in these companies - but at the core, they want more empathic, enlightened corporations that seek a balance between profit and purpose.
