"The male is more divine than the female."

"The female is also more given to affection and more loving, and more apt to be fond."

"The slave is wholly lacking the deliberative element; the female has it but it lacks authority; the child has it but it is incomplete."

"I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self."

"Among barbarians the female and the slave have the same status."
