Excel Topics

But what we gain’d in Skill we lost in Strength.
Our Builders were with Want of Genius curst;
The second Temple was not like the first;
Till you, the best Vitruvius, come at length,
Our Beauties equal, but excel our Strength.
—John Dryden (1631–1700)

Women always excel men in that sort of wisdom which comes from experience. To be a woman is in itself a terrible experience.
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
