Cannot find in earch engines, don't know if is from prose or verse:

"The purer the Golden Vessel,the more readily it is bent; The higher worth of women is sooner lost than that of men..."

Possibly two quotes (?)
1. "The purer the golden vessel the more readily it is bent
2/ "The higher worth of women is sooner lost than that of men..."

John:

The "golden vessel" quote is by a German novelist and writer, Jean Paul Richter, and can be found here:

It's been a long time since we've heard from you. I was thinking about you the other day as we were finalizing our plans for vacation on Topsail Island next week. How are you doing?
