La Rochefoucauld §laroch_340: The wit of most women rather strengthens their folly than their reason.

The wit of most women rather strengthens their folly than their reason. ["Women have an entertaining tattle, and sometimes wit, but for solid reasoning and good sense I never knew one in my life that had it, and who reasoned and acted consequentially for four and twenty hours together."--Lord Chesterfield, Letter 129.]
