I have ever been prone to seek adventure and to investigate and experiment where wiser men would have left well enough alone.

A Princess of Mars (1917)

A warrior can change his metal, but not his heart.

A Princess of Mars (1917)

A Princess of Mars (1917)

I verily believe that a man’s way with women is in inverse ratio to his prowess among men. The weakling and the saphead have often great ability to charm the fair sex, while the fighting man who can face a thousand real dangers unafraid, sits hiding in the shadows like some frightened child.

A Princess of Mars (1917)
