Lady
 
  Ladies, like barristers, must wait to be chosen.
            —Anonymous		  1
  A fine lady is a squirrel-headed thing, with small airs and small notions; about as applicable to the business of life as a pair of tweezers to the clearing of a forest.
            —George Eliot		  2
Ladies, like variegated tulips, show
’T is to their changes half their charms we owe.
            —Alexander Pope		  3
  Great ladies, like great merchants, set but the higher prizes upon what they have, because they are not in necessity of taking the first offer.
            —William Wycherley		  4
