It is a wonderful advantage to a man,
in every pursuit or avocation,
to secure an adviser in a sensible woman.

and a plain soundness of judgement,
which are rarely combined to an equal degree in man.

will have a sensitive regard for your character, honor, repute.
She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing:
for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you.

you want to leave to future generations.
