To wait a while to find a husband
Rich, good-looking, chivalrous and kind -
This is natural enough,
But to wait a hundred years, always asleep,
You can't find a girl or a woman anymore
Who will sleep so tranquilly.
The Fairytale above seems to tell us
That to put off the bonds of Love,
May make for happier marriages,
And that there is nothing to lose by waiting.
But the fair sex has such a passion
For conjugal intimacy,
That I have neither the strength nor the heart
To preach them that moral.
- Sleeping Beauty

Children,
especially attractive, well bred young ladies,
should never talk to strangers,
for if they should do so, they may well provide dinner for a wolf.
I say "wolf," but there are various kinds of wolves.
There are also those who are charming, quiet, polite, unassuming, complacent, and sweet, who pursue young women at home and in the streets.
And unfortunately, it is these gentle wolves who are the most dangerous ones of all.

Beauty in a woman is a rare treasure that will always be admired.
Graciousness, however, is priceless and of even greater value.
This is what Cinderella's godmother gave to her when she taught her to behave like a queen.
Young women, in the winning of a heart, graciousness is more important than a beautiful hairdo.
It is a true gift of the fairies. Without it nothing is possible; with it, one can do anything.
Deuxième verset de morale:
Without doubt it is a great advantage to have intelligence, courage, good breeding, and common sense.
These, and similar talents come only from heaven, and it is good to have them.
However, even these may fail to bring you success, without the blessing of a godfather or a godmother.
- Cinderella
