Calm Quote by Anonymous

“A woman should always stay calm and relaxed, behaving as if nothing in this world really troubles her. All the attacks of nerves and hysterics are not for public. You'd better never let them see you cry. Tears have a strong effect on men, but don't abuse it.” quote by Anonymous
