This is courtship all the world over - the man all tongue; the woman all ears.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Courtship is to marriage, as a very witty prologue to a very dull play.
Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.
What will not woman, gentle woman dare; when strong affection stirs her spirit up?
For everybody knows that it requires very little to satisfy the gentlemen, if a woman will only give her mind to it.
Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day.
When a man gets up to speak, people listen then look. When a woman gets up, people kook; then, if they like what they see, they listen.
Life is a matter of courtship and wooing, flirting and chatting.
The loss of courtship in modern days - like, people don't court anybody anymore. There's no beauty about it.
There is too little courtship in the world.
Courtship consists in a number of quiet attentions, not so pointed as to alarm, nor so vague as not to be understood.
