Girl Power: The Rules as Laid Out by one of the Great Practitioners, Taitu Betul

~~~ 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.
