~~~ Maxims of a Wicked Woman ~~~
Attributed to Taitu, Dowager Empress of Abyssinia.
***
If you would gain a throne and hold it, fear not to make of human skulls thy stepping stones.
***
As a woman dealing with men, let dissimulation be thy watch-word. Let no man know thy secret thoughts and ambitions.
***
If another woman stand in thy way, take her to thy bosom; if a man, beguile and marry him.
***
Harden thy heart to all pity, all remorse; then shall thy mind and heart be free, without scruple, to gain high aims.
***
A heart that is without tenderness of mercy alone can inhabit a body able to endure and to suffer all.
***
When thou hast gained thy throne, yearn not weakly for the love of thy subjects lest they perceive thy weakness and one day overthrow thee; as by blood thou gainest thy crown, through blood only shall thou retain it.
