Women love strongmen. A weak
man may excite their sympathy and
a woman's careful tenderness soothe
and soften the anguish of a weak
man's soul, but the laughing, joy
ous, warm, exuberant love of women
dear, belongs to the men that are
strong and noble and kind. Then
why will a man continue- weak, and
mean and peevish?
