I know I’m a bit early for Women’s Day (August 8th) but I want to share something I just read in our local community newspaper, the Stanford River Talk, edited by Michelle Hardie.
Two things. Two quotes.
“It is a wonderful advantage to a man, in every pursuit or avocation, to secure an advisor in a sensible woman. In a woman there is at once a delicacy of tact and a plain soundness of judgement which are rarely combined in an equal degree in a man. A woman, if she really be your friend, will have a sensitive regard for your character, honour, repute. She will seldom councel (sic) you to do a shabby thing; for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.” – The Earl of Lytton (1831-1891).
The Earl of Lytton: a sharp dude
“Let’s say there’s a meeting… If the chairperson is a man and he is dealing with a tough case, he’ll say ‘Let’s finish this matter at our next meeting’. The reason is simple; he wants to go and ask his wife’s advice! Viva Women’s Day!” – Aron Gcotyelwa, Stanford resident.
That is all.
