The great men are great, and they were lucky, because they had
mothers who did not cease to feed them when they were weaned, but
kept on feeding them mentally into their manhood. ----
The woman with a big brain is the best IN EVERY WAY.
She is better before she is married, for she attracts the man of
intelligence, and establishes a family of intelligent beings.
She is better as a young wife, because the ambition and
intelligence in her call out the ambition and intelligence in her
husband.
Hers is the happy home that needs no divorce lawyer. Pink
cheeks, small feet, squeezed waists, curly hair and such things
disappear or get tiresome. And all pink cheeks are very much
alike, as Dr. Johnson said of the green fields.
But intelligence never gets tiresome; no two brains are ever at
all alike if well developed. A woman of intelligence always
develops new qualities; she can never be monotonous.
There is no such thing as too much education, although educating
us primitive men and women is apt to develop unexpected
littleness. and thus create prejudice. ----
Note this important fact: The bigger the brain, the bigger the
heart, not only physically, but sentimentally and morally. It
takes brain to feel real emotion; a well-developed mind to
develop real sentiment, real affection.
